A tech CEO got caught in an embrace with a coworker on the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert, causing both to flee in embarrassment and sparking cheating allegations.
Viral footage showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company’s Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, awkwardly jumping out of each other’s arms as they flashed up on a “kiss cam” during the band’s show in Boston Wednesday night.
In the clip, shared on by @instaagrace, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin can be heard saying, “Oh, look at these two” as the camera pans over Byron and Cabot.
Byron, who had his arms wrapped around Cabot, quickly let her go as his coworker covered her face with her hands, and he crouched down, trying to hide from the camera.
“Oh, what…either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin quipped as the pair ran away from where they were standing.

YouTube user @calebu2 uploaded a clip from another angle (starts from 0:49):
Byron has been CEO of Astronomer, a New York City-based data orchestration platform that “empowers data teams to bring mission-critical analytics, AI, and software to life,” since 2023, according to the company’s LinkedIn page.
Meanwhile, Cabot joined the team nine months ago, according to her LinkedIn.
She also purportedly scrubbed her second surname, Thornby, which was in brackets on her social media, according to The Sun, which first reported on the video.
Per @PopBase, Byron’s wife has since removed his last name from her Facebook profile.
