Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot was apparently unfaithful to a spouse during Wednesday’s Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium.
A viral video surfaced on Wednesday of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron hugging Kristin Cabot at the concert. The two were exposed on the kiss cam, and their awkward reaction made the moment all the more cringeworthy:
Imagine getting caught in 4k cheating on your spouse-with your HR Chief on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert. 😳😳😳 Andy Bryon & Kristin Cabot didn’t just risk their marriages, they turned a secret fling into a viral spectacle & a corporate scandal.

Internet detectives soon learned that Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, with whom he has two children. Cabot was previously married to Kenneth Thornby before they divorced in 2022.
Kristin Cabot appears to have since remarried, according to new documents obtained by the New York Post. The outlet found property records which note that Cabot (maiden name “Stanek”) shares a home with Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum:
“Property records obtained by The Post show that the 52-year-old Cabot, whose maiden name is Stanek, has shared a Rye, New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot — the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker — since at least 2023…
After being listed as co-residents at one address in Rye, Andrew and Kristin Cabot bought the two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style house — located just minutes from the Atlantic coast — in February for $2.2 million, the records showed.”
Astronomer announced in a statement that both employees have been placed on leave, and that the Board of Directors is reviewing the matter.
Kristin Cabot Joined Astronomer Last November
Kristin Cabot is a relatively new employee at Astronomer, having only been hired by the company last November. Andy Byron joined the company in July 2023 and is a graduate of Providence College.
Both Cabot and Byron have since deleted their LinkedIn profiles, and neither has issued a public statement on the matter.
