Kristin Cabot, the chief human resources officer of the company Astronomer, found herself in the spotlight in July 2025 when she was spotted during a Coldplay concert in a viral moment kissing her boss, Astronomer’s CEO Andy Byron. A concertgoer recorded the moment on TikTok, capturing Andy embracing Kristin before they realized they were on camera. They immediately let go of each other and appeared visibly embarrassed. Social media exploded when it was revealed that Andy had a wife. So, does Kristin have a husband or is she single?
Below, we will delve into what happened at the Coldplay concert and learn more about Andy and Kristin.
Kristin works as the «chief human resources officer» at Astronomer. She was hired at the end of 2024, according to her LinkedIn profile, which describes her as a «passionate leader known for award-winning cultures for fast-growing startups and multinational corporations».
Elsewhere in her LinkedIn profile, Kristin wrote that she is an «influential leader and fearless agent of change» who «leads by example and earns the trust of employees at all levels, from CEOs to managers and assistants».
According to Newsweek, Andy once praised Kristin after her hiring at Astronomer. He noted her «exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling HR strategies» as «critically important» to the team.
Kristin was previously married to her ex-husband, Kenneth Thornby. They separated in 2018 and officially divorced in 2022, according to the New York Post.
Andy’s wife is Megan Kerrigan Byron. Reports suggest that Andy has children with Megan.
Little is known about Megan, except that the CEO of Astronomer is still legally married to her.
It is unknown whether the rumors of a romance between Andy and Kristin are true. Neither Andy, Kristin, nor Megan have publicly commented on these speculations. No one from Astronomer addressed this issue at the time of publication.
However, the viral moment on camera between Andy and Kristin attracted unwanted attention. After they were seen in what appeared to be a romantic embrace, and then quickly separated, Coldplay’s Chris Martin made a joking remark that could fuel the rumors of a romance.
«Okay, everything’s fine», - Chris said to Kristin and Andy, according to Newsweek, adding jokingly, «Either they have a romance, or they’re just very shy»
