Yesterday’s viral “kiss cam” moment at a Coldplay concert in Boston has sparked huge buzz around Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer.

Married with Kids: Meet His Wife

Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, a Massachusetts educator working at Bancroft School. The couple reside in New York and have two children. Since the concert incident, Megan reportedly removed “Byron” from her social media name and deactivated her Facebook—a move that has fueled speculation about their relationship

Viral “Cheating” Video with Kristin Cabot

At Boston’s Gillette Stadium, Byron appeared on the “kiss cam” cuddling with Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s Chief People Officer. As soon as their image showed, Byron ducked behind a barrier and Cabot buried her face in her hands. Fans and the audience heard frontman Chris Martin jokingly say: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”.

This unexpected moment went viral instantly. Some social media users interpreted it as a possible cheating scandal, while others noted it could be a misunderstanding.
