Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has deleted his LinkedIn after being caught in an intimate moment with Chief Public Officer Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert. The video sparked ‘cheating’ claims, led to backlash, and changes in his wife’s social media profile.
Andy Byron, CEO of the data startup Astronomer, has disappeared from LinkedIn after a video from a Coldplay concert featuring him in an intimate moment with a colleague went viral. The incident, recorded during the band’s Kiss Cam segment at their Boston show, triggered accusations of “cheating” and quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms.

Byron, who was seen embracing Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief Public Officer, appears to have either disabled or permanently removed his LinkedIn profile. A search for his profile now displays the message: “This page doesn’t exist. Please check your URL or return to LinkedIn home.”

What the Coldplay video showed


During the Boston concert, Byron and Cabot were caught on the stadium’s Kiss Cam, seemingly sharing a private moment. The two quickly appeared startled once they noticed the camera was on them. They abruptly moved apart and tried to avoid further attention by hiding their faces. A woman sitting next to them could be seen reacting with surprise, smiling with her hand over her mouth. Cabot turned her face away from the camera, trying to remain out of view.

Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin commented on the moment, joking, “They’re either shy or having an affair.” In a later follow-up video that also gained traction online, Martin added, “Hope we didn’t do something wrong.”

Social media reactions and backlash


The video sparked criticism and widespread speculation about the nature of Byron and Cabot’s relationship. Accusations of infidelity began circulating online soon after the footage was shared. The public backlash appears to have led to swift personal and professional changes.


Megan Kerrigan, Byron’s wife and a school administrator, responded subtly on her own social media. She removed her surname from her Facebook profile. The couple share two children. There has been no public comment from her or from either Byron or Cabot regarding the incident.

Who are the people involved?


Andy Byron became CEO of Astronomer in 2023. Later that year, in November 2024, he brought Kristin Cabot into the company as Chief Public Officer. In a post on LinkedIn at the time — now deleted — Byron had spoken highly of Cabot’s impact on the firm, referring to it as a “transformative” phase for Astronomer.


That praise, the timing of her hiring, and the Coldplay video have all contributed to speculation about the closeness of their working relationship. However, there has been no official statement from the company.

No official response or clarification has been issued by Astronomer, Andy Byron, or Kristin Cabot so far. The LinkedIn deletion and visible social media changes remain the only direct consequences publicly confirmed at this point.
