A Boston Coldplay concert turned unexpectedly scandalous when a kiss cam captured Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company’s Head of Human Resources, Kristin Cabot, in a moment that has now gone viral and ignited a wave of online accusations.
As the camera panned across the crowd during the event, it settled on Byron and Cabot, who were seen hugging intimately. But once they noticed their image projected on the stadium’s big screen, they swiftly pulled away—Byron crouched down awkwardly, while Cabot tried to obscure her face. The crowd’s amusement was amplified when lead singer Chris Martin teased, “Either they’re sneaking around or they’re just really shy.”
The incident was quickly clipped and shared to TikTok, where it exploded in popularity, racking up millions of views. Social media detectives were quick to speculate on the nature of the relationship, with many alleging an extramarital affair. Adding fuel to the fire, online observers claimed that Byron’s spouse has recently removed his surname from her public profiles.
The unexpected exposure has drawn widespread attention not just to the pair involved, but also to the boundaries of workplace relationships and privacy in the era of viral media.
