The internet can be unforgiving, and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is finding that out the hard way. After a video of him getting cosy with the company’s HR head, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert went viral, eagle-eyed social media users noticed that his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, updated her Facebook profile and removed “Byron” from her name. The move didn’t go unnoticed, and soon screenshots of the change began circulating across Reddit and X.
Kiss cam catches Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief; Chris Martin calls it out
It all went down at Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night. The kiss cam landed on Andy Byron and the company’s HR chief, capturing them looking cosy and close until they suddenly started turning their faces away from the camera. That awkward shift made it all the more obvious, prompting frontman Chris Martin to chime in mid-performance. “Oh, look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy,” he joked, sending the crowd into laughter. Online, however, the reaction was a mix of shock and sleuthing, as viewers quickly realised the woman by Byron’s side wasn’t his wife.

Shortly after the name update started trending, Megan Kerrigan Byron’s entire Facebook account disappeared. Anyone trying to visit her profile was met with a “profile not found” message, suggesting that she had deactivated or deleted her account altogether. Many saw this as confirmation that things were unravelling back at home. While Megan hasn’t made any public statements, her quiet moves have said enough to fuel endless internet speculation.

 CEO locks LinkedIn comments after viral backlash
Andy Byron also moved quickly to protect his public image. Just hours after the video from the concert took off online, users noticed that the comments on his LinkedIn posts had been disabled. His feed, once filled with corporate messaging and leadership quotes, had become a target for angry users and memes. Before he could scrub it all, screen recordings were already making the rounds, and people were pointing out the irony of a workplace scandal involving none other than the company’s top executive and head of HR, caught in 4K on a night out.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was seen getting cozy with Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot during a Coldplay concert, leading to a major blow up all over the internet with memes and trolls on the exposed scandal.
With the Internet sharing multiple troll posts and ragebaits, an unexpected side story has surfaced online. A man named Alex Cohen claimed on X that Astronomer fired him for a rather bizarre reason because he allegedly purchased the Coldplay tickets that unintentionally led to Byron and Cabot’s affair being exposed to the world on the Kiss Cam.
But is this story even true? Let’s check out.
What happened at the Coldplay concert?
During Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium, the Kiss Cam caught Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, in an intimate embrace with Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. As the crowd laughed, Chris Martin joked, “Oh look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
The clip went viral instantly across TikTok, Reddit, and X. While many made jokes, others sympathised with Byron’s wife and criticised the duo for being reckless in public. Neither Byron nor Cabot has publicly commented on the incident yet.
What the man claimed and what’s the truth
Amid the buzz, Alex Cohen shared a post on X claiming he was fired by Astronomer for buying the Coldplay tickets that led to the affair getting exposed. He said, “Turns out our CEO and Head of HR were having an affair and got caught at the Coldplay concert that I bought the company tickets to. They blamed me for getting caught and fired me on the spot.”
But soon, people pointed out that Alex Cohen is actually the co-founder of hellopatient, a healthcare company. His LinkedIn shows he has been leading the company for over a year. There’s no mention of Astronomer in his work history. So, his post was fake, just made to get attention towards his start-up company from a trending topic.
X users search Alex Cohen’s LinkedIn profile to discover the truth
Multiple users posted screenshots of Alex Cohen’s LinkedIn profile where it was discovered that he never works for Astronomer. Once the truth was out, people replied to Cohen’s post, calling him out. One user wrote, “Dying, I was literally drafting a troll post about this and deleted it because I needed to make sure Alex hadn’t done it already.”
Another commented, “Why is your LinkedIn not showing you worked there, and having launched hellopatient more than 8 months ago?”
It was clear the post was ragebait, but for a while, it still grabbed attention across social media.
