CEO Caught Hugging HR Chief at Coldplay Concert Goes Viral
Astronomer CEO and HR Head spotted getting cozy on jumbotron


Coldplay’s Boston concert had all the usual vibes—lights, hits, and singalongs—but the internet had its eyes on something else entirely: a now-viral moment involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company’s HR Chief Kristin Cabot.
All Eyes on the Jumbotron
As Chris Martin performed, the camera panned to the crowd and landed on Byron and Cabot in a very close embrace. The second they realized they were live on the big screen, both quickly pulled away and awkwardly tried to dodge the spotlight—literally.
Chris Martin’s Spicy Comment
Chris Martin didn’t miss a beat. Seeing the awkward moment unfold, he joked, “Oh look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.” That offhand remark sent the internet spiraling.
The Plot Thickens
What made things even juicier? Reports say Byron is married and lives in New York with his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron. So naturally, this unexpected display at a concert has led to tons of online speculation and side-eyes.
Silence from the Duo
So far, neither Byron nor Cabot has made any public statement about what really went down—or what their current relationship status is. But with the clip still making the rounds on TikTok, X, and Instagram, it doesn’t look like this will blow over quietly.
