A viral “Kiss Cam” moment at a Coldplay concert has sparked rumors of a possible romance between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. The two looked visibly uncomfortable on camera, and a joking comment from Chris Martin about an “affair” only added fuel.
Online sleuths quickly identified them, noting Cabot’s 2022 divorce and reports that Byron is still married. His wife has since gone silent on social media.
The moment also brought renewed attention to Byron’s past leadership, including claims of a high-pressure work environment. While neither has responded publicly, the incident has sparked debate over workplace boundaries and how fast private moments can go viral.
