Megan Kerrigan Byron, the spouse of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, swiftly erased her social media footprint after a video suggesting her husband's infidelity at a Coldplay concert gained viral traction. By Thursday morning, Page Six noted that Megan's Facebook page, once a repository of cherished family snapshots, had vanished into cyberspace. Just prior to her profile's deletion, she had expunged her surname from her account.
The swift action came amidst a deluge of comments on her page, following sightings of Andy in the company of Kristin Cabot, the firm's Chief Human Resources Officer, at Wednesday night's concert in Boston. A TikTok video captured the duo swaying with arms intertwined as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin panned the "kiss cam" around Gillette Stadium.
"Look at these two," quipped Martin, his voice harmonizing with "Fix You," as Cabot promptly turned away and Byron ducked out of frame. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," added the 48-year-old, to roars of approval and gasps from the audience.
Andy was unreachable for comment by Page Six at the time. The pair are colleagues at the AI and data-centric enterprise, valued at $1.2 billion, as reported by The Post. According to Andy's LinkedIn profile, he assumed the CEO role at the New York-based company in July 2023. Cabot joined the ranks in November 2024, though a LinkedIn post celebrating her arrival at Astronomer has since been scrubbed.
At her hiring, the company extolled Cabot's "exceptional leadership" and two decades of HR expertise in a press release. Social media users were swift to call out Andy and Cabot, with one commenting, "[I] feel terrible for his wife but also oddly pleased they were publicly embarrassed in front of thousands."
Another echoed, "If [Cabot] is the Chief People Officer, doesn't that make her basically head of HR? Will she preside over the disciplinary hearing for this alleged workplace misconduct?"
Others noted that the alleged couple's actions would not have garnered such widespread attention had they behaved normally.
