17 july 2025 в 20:13
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron may find himself in an uncomfortable position after attending a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts in July 2025. A viral moment of a kiss caught on camera endeared social media users after Andy was seen embracing a woman who appeared to be his lover, not his wife. After several sources pointed out that this woman — the chief human resources officer of his company, Kristin Cabot — rumors of an affair quickly spread.
Below you will learn about Andy’s marriage, rumors of an affair, and what happened at the Coldplay concert.
Andy is the CEO of Astronomer, which manages the DataOps platform called Astro. According to the company’s official website, Astro was built on Apache Airflow and designed for the team to «build, run, and observe data that just works, all from one place».
Over the past few months, Andy has become a key figure for Astronomer’s success. He has represented the company at many public events, such as an interview with the New York Stock Exchange in June 2025.
Andy’s current marital status is unknown, but if the rumors of an affair are true, he and his wife may likely divorce.
Little is known about Andy’s marriage, but several sources have reported that his wife is Megan Kerrigan. Both spouses are 50 years old and live near Northborough, Massachusetts, according to Newsweek.
Kristin is the «chief human resources officer» at Astronomer, a role typically in the field of human resources. She started working at Astronomer in November 2024, according to her LinkedIn page, where she is described as a «passionate leader known for award-winning cultures for fast-growing startups and multinational corporations».
«An influential leader and fearless change agent, I lead by example and earn the trust of employees at all levels, from CEOs to managers and assistants», - Kristin’s LinkedIn profile states. «I take pride in creating innovative systems and processes that attract top talent, as well as aligning the organization’s workforce around its mission and values».
According to Newsweek, Andy praised Kristin after her hiring at the company. He noted her «exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people management strategies» as «critically important» for Astronomer.
Neither Andy, Kristin, Megan, nor anyone from Astronomer has commented on the rumors of an affair.
Based on the kiss caught on the Jumbotron camera in July 2025, it seemed that Andy and Kristin did not want to be seen in public. Andy embraced Kristin before the camera switched to them. They quickly separated when Andy dodged, and Kristin began to walk away.
It is unlikely that the members of Coldplay knew about the alleged affair between Kristin and Andy. However, vocalist Chris Martin made a playful remark that the duo was shy on camera kisses.
«Alright, you guys are okay», - Chris said about Kristin and Andy, according to Newsweek, adding, «Either they have an affair, or they’re just very shy»
