Former Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot made headlines after she and the company’s former CEO Andy Byron appeared on the kiss cam at the July 16 Coldplay concert — but what’s the deal with her love life?
Cabot turned around and hid her face when Coldplay frontman Chris Martin put her and Byron on the jumbotron, raising questions about their respective relationship statuses. It appeared the two were caught cheating, and even Martin quipped about a possible affair.
While Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, details about Cabot’s relationships have been brought to light. (Luxury Handbag Shopping has reached out to Byron and Cabot for comment.)
Both Byron and Cabot have stayed silent regarding the apparent scandal. Byron, however, has officially stepped down as CEO of Astronomer, where they both worked. Cabot has also resigned as CPO.
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the company shared in a statement days after the scandal. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”

This appears to be her second marriage.
Kristin’s now-deleted LinkedIn profile seemed to reveal that she was working alongside Privateer Rum for the past five years as an “advisory board member” — a role she started in September 2020.
Kristin filed for divorce from Andrew on August 13, 2025, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail on September 6, 2025.
After news of the divorce went public, Andrew spoke out about their split in a statement to People. His spokesperson told the outlet that he and Kristin “were privately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert,” adding that their “decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening.”
“Now that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they’ve always valued,” the statement continued.
Kristin broke her silence regarding the scandal in a December 2025 interview with The New York Times, confirming that she and Andrew were separated at the time of the Coldplay concert. She added that Andrew has been “nothing but a gentleman” amid the controversy and their divorce.

“I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss,” she said. “And it’s not nothing.”
Discussing the death threats she received after the scandal, the former CPO continued, “I took accountability and I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay. I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them.”
