What began as a fun Coldplay concert in Boston turned into one of the year’s most viral scandals.

During the show, the jumbotron caught Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot in what

looked like an intimate embrace. They pulled apart when they realized they were on screen, but the clip spread across

social media within hours. Even Chris Martin fueled the frenzy, joking, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”

The moment went viral, drawing millions of views and sparking speculation about Kristin’s marriage to Andrew Cabot.

Soon after, news broke that Kristin had filed for divorce, raising questions about whether the concert had exposed

a hidden affair. For weeks, silence surrounded the family.That ended when Andrew Cabot released a statement confirming

that he and Kristin had been privately separated weeks before the concert and were already pursuing divorce.

He asked for privacy, framing the moment as unfortunate timing rather than betrayal.

The fallout didn’t end there. Andy Byron resigned as CEO, and Kristin stepped down as Chief People Officer.

Astronomer’s board cited failed leadership standards, while interim CEO Pete DeJoy admitted the company faced “surreal” public scrutiny.
