Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, sparked rumors of an affair with his company's HR, Kristin Cabot (Chief People Officer), after both were seen in a cozy gesture at Coldplay's concert, the video of which is making rounds on social media platforms. The two were seen on the jumbotron with their arms around each other, and on realising that they were being filmed, they immediately withdrew their arms from one another and covered their faces.
Jesting about the situation, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin reacted to both of them being captured on the "Kiss Cam", saying, 'Oh look at these two... either they're having an affair or they're very shy'.
Byron has two kids with Megan Kerrigan Byron, who works as a teacher at Bancroft School in Massachusetts. Megan allegedly deactivated her social media accounts and removed "Byron" from them after the incident, which fueled rumors that they were married. There has been no official statement on the subject from Byron, Cabot, or the Astronomer.

Netizens have reacted to the viral video with some saying, 'they feel bad for the wife'.
"They are both incredibly stupid, sorry. Why would you go to a concert of all places if you are having an affair?" said one of the users.
