PUBLISHED ONJuly 18, 2025 6:42 AMBYSyarifah NadhirahA night of fun turned into a public relations nightmare for two people at the July 16 Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, US.
During a “kiss cam” segment where the camera pans to couples in the crowd, a man was caught in an embrace with a woman. The pair was smiling and swaying to the music but quickly separated when they noticed themselves on the screen.
The man has been identified as Andy Byron, the married CEO of tech company Astronomer.
To complicate things further, the woman is believed to be his company’s human resources chief Kristin Cabot, whose marital status is unknown.
Ironically, lead singer Chris Martin commented: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re really shy.”
Astronomer is in the business of data analytics and artificial intelligence, and is valued at US$1.3 billion (S$1.6 billion).
While neither party has yet to make a statement, Byron has since removed his Linkedin profile.
A video of the moment has gone viral on social media, with one TikTok post garnering over 40 million views in less than 24 hours.
It was then reposted on X where it gained 500,000 likes.
