UPDATE: Coldplay frontman Chris Martin hilariously trolled a couple on the kiss cam during a concert, inadvertently revealing an alleged affair involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief, Kristin Cabot. The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and has quickly gone viral.
As Martin performed during the “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” the jumbotron focused on a young couple. Martin, known for his playful banter, asked, “Are you two a couple? Are you two a legitimate couple?” The crowd erupted in laughter as the couple appeared stunned and silent. He cheekily followed up with questions about their understanding of English and Spanish before finally getting a thumbs up from the man. Martin then seamlessly transitioned into performing “Fix You,” but the audience was still buzzing from the earlier antics.
Earlier that evening, the kiss cam captured Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, who were seen with their arms around each other. The moment quickly turned awkward when they noticed they were on the big screen, leading them to recoil and hide their faces. Martin couldn’t resist commenting, quipping, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” His remarks prompted laughter from the audience, but the implications of the moment have raised eyebrows online.
The fallout from this unexpected exposure has been significant. Following the viral moment, Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, reportedly deactivated her Facebook account and removed her surname from her profile. This move suggests a personal crisis, as the implications of her husband’s alleged infidelity take center stage in social media discussions.
Byron, who assumed the CEO position at Astronomer in July 2023, leads a company valued at $1.2 billion. He has a controversial past, with reports surfacing of his aggressive management style at previous jobs, which allegedly contributed to high employee turnover.
Fans and social media users are now sharing memes and commentary, turning this entertaining concert moment into a broader conversation about corporate ethics and personal relationships. The public’s fascination with this unfolding drama illustrates how entertainment and high-stakes corporate life can collide in unexpected ways.
As the story develops, many are left wondering about the potential repercussions for Byron and Cabot. Will this incident lead to professional fallout for the CEO? How will it affect the dynamics within Astronomer?
