Coldplay Kiss Cam Blunder Sparks Questions About Astronomer Exec Kristin Cabot's Marital Status

Former Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot garnered significant media attention after being featured on the kiss cam alongside former CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert on July 16 – prompting curiosity about her romantic relationships.

When Chris Martin, Coldplay's lead singer, projected Cabot and Byron onto the large screen, Cabot promptly turned away and concealed her face, sparking speculation regarding their current relationship situations. The incident suggested an infidelity, with Martin himself making a jest about a potential romantic entanglement.

Although Byron is wed to Megan Kerrigan Byron, information concerning Cabot's romantic history has now come into public view. (Us Weekly has contacted both Byron and Cabot seeking their comments.)

Both Byron and Cabot have maintained their silence concerning the unfolding controversy. Nevertheless, Byron has officially resigned from his position as CEO of Astronomer, the company where they were both employed. Cabot, too, has stepped down from her role as CPO.
