A Coldplay concert in Boston has gone viral for unexpected reasons, after a couple caught on the “kiss cam” turned out to be involved in an extramarital affair. The moment, captured during the band’s performance of The Jumbotron Song at Gillette Stadium, shocked both the crowd and social media users — but most of all, the wife of the man involved.

The ‘Kiss Cam’ Shock That Triggered Online Frenzy

During the concert, the stadium’s big screen panned to a couple who were seen embracing and enjoying the music. But the mood shifted instantly when they noticed themselves on the giant display. Visibly panicked, the man ducked down and tried to hide, while the woman turned her back to the camera and covered her face. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, noticing the reaction, joked from the stage: “Look at those two. They’re either in love or very shy.”

It wasn’t long before internet sleuths identified the pair — and the story behind their discomfort unraveled rapidly.

The individuals caught on camera have been identified as Andy Byron, CEO of the software company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. According to reports, both are married to other people.

Byron, who joined Astronomer after serving in senior roles at tech firms including Lacework, Cybereason, Fuze, and BMC Software, is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron. The couple shares two children.

Cabot, who joined Astronomer in 2024, had been publicly praised by Byron for her professional experience. On her LinkedIn profile, she had previously written, “I lead by example and earn trust at all levels, from CEOs to managers and their assistants.”

The professional relationship between the two had already drawn attention within their industry. Now, that relationship is under scrutiny of an entirely different kind.

The Wife’s Quiet but Powerful Response

While Megan Kerrigan Byron has not issued a public statement, she has made a series of subtle but telling moves online. First, she removed her husband’s surname from her social media profiles. Then, she deactivated her accounts on both Facebook and Instagram.

Her quiet digital retreat hasn’t stopped social media users from expressing support. Messages such as “Sorry you’re going through this,” and “Classy move, Megan. Get a divorce lawyer and take the money,” have flooded platforms, with most echoing the same sentiment of solidarity.
