The CEO of an AI company has come under heavy scrutiny after being caught by a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in Boston — while romantically embracing one of his employees.
The footage, which went viral on social media on Thursday, shows Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, tightly embracing, only to awkwardly dash out of the frame. Both are reportedly married with kids.
"Oh, look at these two," Coldplay singer Chris Martin narrated, as Byron comically ducked out of view after realizing he was on screen. "Oh, what... either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy."
The unfortunate event drew the ire of online pundits.
"Serves them right tbh," one user on Reddit argued. "Cheating catches up with you eventually."
Others pointed to a second woman on the left of the frame, covering her face with her hands.
"She knows them both and realizes her friends are cooked," one user suggested.
Employee Engagement
The purported affair will likely lead to plenty of questions among the ranks of Byron's New York City-based company, which advertises a baffling array of computing buzzwords related to machine learning and automation — "empowers data teams to bring mission-critical software, analytics, & AI to life" — on its website.
Some sleuthing on LinkedIn reveals that Cabot joined Astronomer in November.
"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," Byron said of Cabot in a press release at the time.
Neither Cabot nor Byron has publicly commented on the matter. But if there's one certainty, the cringeworthy ordeal will likely make for some extremely awkward meetings.
The purported affair drew a huge amount of attention online. Newsweek found that Byron's wife's Facebook page, which has since been taken down, has been pummelled with comments, with onlookers pointing out her husband's infidelity.
To many, the whole thing could've easily been avoided.
"lol if they’d have just stuck it out and smiled for the camera this would never have surfaced as virally as it did,” one Reddit user posited.
"Cost of a concert: Hotel $200, tickets $600, food/drinks $150, divorce attorney $50,000," one Instagram user joked.
"Two rules, never try to hide from the Jumbotron and never run from cops or dogs," another X user advised.

A bit of fun and $100 million divorce payout later.
Be sure your sin will find you out.
The funny thing is that if he were truly shameless, he would have played the whole thing off as if it were nothing. And no one probably ever would have found out. Instead out of shame he ducked down and hid...and Chris Martin narrated the rest.
Just doing her job as Chief People Officer
They weren’t embracing, he was checkingfor melanomas
In that case it's a good thing the Jumbotron wasn't watching them a minute earlier when she had her head in his lap. Such activities do present a choking hazard if she attempts to swallow in that position.
I imagine he told his wife he’s taking an important “client” to the concert.
“chief people officer”
‘ZACTLY,
f’ that Schiff !
Wow! I bet they were red faced after seeing themselves on the Jumbotron.
It will indeed. This is one of life’s embarrassing moments.
All he had to do was avoid the PDA, and would never have been seen on Jumbotron. Even if he was on the screen, he could say he was just at a concert with fellow company executives.
One of the guys I work with was at this concert. This incident was all he was talking about at work yesterday morning.
His fiance dragged him to the show.
So he says.
Yep. “Smile and wave, baby. Smile and wave!”
She needs to go to the hairdresser and quit doing her own hair in the shower. Hair looks horrible.
Internet sends love to apparent wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron after he’s caught canoodling with employee at Coldplay concert
It’s a good thing his company is called astronomy, his wife is about to give him a lot of space.
The moment they realized that their little party was over, unless they’re both in open marriages...Nah, the party is over. Have one for the road and just call it a night.
HR....most worthless department in any business.
..just a personal opinion.
From one article I’ve seen, she was married in 2018 & divorced in 2022. So she apparently is not married; but he is. And he’s a father of two.
