A brief moment on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert has stirred online speculation after Astronomer’s CEO, Andy Byron, and Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, were shown in what appeared to be an affectionate embrace. The pair quickly pulled away when they noticed the camera, prompting curiosity from concertgoers and comments from frontman Chris Martin, who jokingly said, “Either they’re having an affair or just very shy.” The moment, intended to be lighthearted, went viral—causing a flurry of online reactions.
Following the video, social media users began digging into the executives’ backgrounds. Andy is reportedly married, while Kristin was previously divorced and has been linked to Andrew Cabot, another business executive. Public records show Kristin and Andrew Cabot sharing an address and attending family events together. Amid renewed interest, Kristin has since deactivated her social media accounts.
Neither Andy nor Kristin has commented publicly on the incident, though the video continues to circulate. Online conversations have shifted from humorous takes to deeper discussions around workplace relationships and professional boundaries. Some viewers noted that Kristin’s 2023 executive appointment was announced with high praise from Andy, a detail now being viewed through a different lens.
As online attention intensifies, both executives remain employed at Astronomer. The situation has sparked broader conversations about privacy, professionalism, and how quickly public perception can shift in the age of viral moments. Whether the speculation holds weight or not, the incident highlights how even a few seconds on camera can have unexpected ripple effects.
