‘Fking Hell, It’s Me’: Shocked Astronomer CEO’s Stunned Words as Kiss Cam Catches Him Cuddling HR Chief—Employees Speak Out**

In a moment that has set social media ablaze, Andrew Byron, the CEO of billion-dollar artificial intelligence company Astronomer, was caught on the Coldplay concert’s “kiss cam” cuddling with his colleague Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. The on-screen footage has since gone viral, sparking a firestorm of speculation, and leaving both Byron and Cabot scrambling to defend themselves.

As the camera zoomed in on Byron and Cabot, who were seated together during Coldplay’s performance at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Tuesday, Byron’s stunned reaction was captured on film. “F**king hell, it’s me,” he muttered, clearly horrified by the realization that they had been exposed on the jumbotron. Cabot, equally caught off guard, reportedly uttered, “This is awkward,” before the two quickly turned their backs to the camera in an attempt to avoid further attention. However, Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, quickly jumped in, quipping, “Oh, look at these two! Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.” His comment, though lighthearted, only added fuel to the growing public intrigue surrounding the pair’s interaction.

The Fallout: A Scandal Unfolds

The viral video, uploaded by a concertgoer, quickly spread across social media, with users dissecting every moment of the awkward encounter. Public records indicate that both Byron and Cabot are married to other people. Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, a teacher at Bancroft School, was reportedly unaware of the affair, and recent reports suggest the couple may be living at separate addresses.

The incident has raised significant questions not only about the personal relationships of Byron and Cabot but also about the internal dynamics at Astronomer. The company, a leading tech firm specializing in generative AI, has been valued at over $1 billion and boasts clients like Uber, Ford, and LinkedIn. Byron’s leadership has been credited with the company’s rapid growth, including a reported 292% increase in revenue for Astronomer‘s “Astro” platform in 2023.

Despite this success, the revelations surrounding the affair have cast a long shadow over both Byron’s personal life and professional reputation. Sources within the company have raised concerns about the implications of the scandal, especially given the power dynamics at play between the CEO and his HR chief.

The Professional Fallout: Will Cabot Face Consequences?

Kristin Cabot’s role at Astronomer has also come under intense scrutiny following the scandal. Cabot, who joined the company in 2024, was praised by Byron in a November 2024 post, where he highlighted her leadership skills and expertise in talent management. The post read, “Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory.” Given her close working relationship with Byron, many are questioning how the affair may have impacted internal operations and whether it could affect her standing within the company.

While Astronomer has yet to make a public statement about Cabot’s future, some insiders believe her position may be in jeopardy. The scandal has opened up questions about ethical behavior and potential conflicts of interest, with some employees feeling betrayed by the leadership’s lack of transparency regarding the affair. As one employee put it, “This isn’t just about personal lives—it’s about trust and integrity within the company.”

The pair quickly hid their faces and Byron dropped to his knees. Now, their embarrassed words to each other can be revealed

Public records suggest both are married – but that they live at different addresses to those listed as their spouses.

Daily Mail has contacted Byron, Cabot and Astronomer for comment.

The company provides generative AI software to a number of major companies including Uber, Ford and LinkedIn.

Byron heaped praise on Cabot in a November 2024 post about her appointment to the firm.

‘Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,’ he said.

‘She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.’

Byron became CEO in 2023, and the startup rapidly grew under his tenure including a reported 292 per cent growth in revenue for its ‘Astro’ platform that year.

The startup has been valued at over $1 billion, and last week Byron appeared on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) TV to celebrate the company.

Astronomer raised $93 million in its Series D round of financing, which Byron described as ‘a huge opportunity’ and ‘very exciting’ for the firm.
