Chris Martin of Coldplay responded to a Kiss Cam at one of the band concerts in which Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was kissing Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer of the company, on camera, fuelling speculation of an affair. On the jumbotron Byron and Cabot could be spotted, both stood wrapped in the arms of the other. When the camera pointed to them, they moved aside and hid their faces.
The leader of Coldplay noticed them at the concert held at Gillette Stadium, Boston, Massachusetts, Wednesday. He was making a joke out of it; he said, “Oh, look at these two, either they are having an affair or they are very shy” and this caused laughter of the audience.
This moment rather speedily became viral on the social market such as TikTok, Reddit and Twitter. Internet readers responded to the incident with a lot of shock, amusement and criticism with some people sympathising with Byron wife and others criticising the recklessness of the two.
One of the social media users wrote: sorry to the wife but happy to see them being exposed and embarrassed.
Another user said, “How sad.”
They are both altogether numbskulls, sorry. what are you going to a concert of all things when you are having an affair, a third asked.
The case has initiated the discussions on corporate culture, and users discuss issues like professional behavior in the working environment and personal relations.
At the moment, neither Astronomer, nor Andy Byron, made an official statement about the incident.

Who Is Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, Caught Getting Cozy On Kiss Cam With His HR Chief At Coldplay Concert
A YouTube clip that shows an Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company HR head, Kristin Cabot, attended Coldplay concert in Boston has swept the web. The two, shown on the big screen at the show, were visibly surprised as Chris Martin said, “Oh look at these two,” not knowing that the two were not husband and wife.
