Coldplay Concert Kiss Cam Exposes Tech CEO’s Alleged Affair, Sparks Investigation

In a twist straight out of a rom-com gone wrong, a Coldplay concert turned into a public spectacle for Andy Byron, CEO of tech firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of HR. A viral video, captured by concertgoer Grace Springer, allegedly shows the pair getting cozy on the 'Kiss Cam' during the event on Wednesday night. The footage, now viewed over 30 million times, has sparked a formal investigation by Astronomer’s board and landed Byron on leave.

Springer, speaking to media outlets, admitted to mixed feelings about posting the clip. She hadn’t anticipated the storm it would unleash, but as she put it, sometimes you 'play stupid games and win stupid prizes.' The couple’s attempt to duck out of the jumbotron spotlight only fueled the intrigue, with Coldplay’s Chris Martin quipping they were either 'having an affair or just very shy.'

Astronomer swiftly responded, emphasizing their commitment to company values. With Byron sidelined, cofounder Pete DeJoy has stepped in as interim CEO while the board digs deeper. Meanwhile, public records hint at personal complexities—Byron appears to still be married, while Cabot finalized a divorce in 2022, though recent property records tie her to a joint purchase with an ex-spouse.

What started as a lighthearted concert moment has spiraled into a full-blown corporate and personal drama. Springer hopes her video, in some unexpected way, offers a path to healing for those affected. But one thing’s clear: the internet never forgets, and this 'Kiss Cam' clip is now etched in digital infamy.
