Former HR Chief Kristin Cabot Seeks Divorce Following Coldplay Concert Controversy

Divorce Filing Amidst Scandal

In a surprising development, Kristin Cabot, the former HR chief of Astronomer, has initiated divorce proceedings against her husband, Andrew Cabot. This comes just months after a scandal erupted when she and her superior, Andy Byrne, were caught on camera sharing a close moment during a Coldplay concert, which quickly went viral.

The incident occurred at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, where the 'kiss cam' captured Cabot and Byrne, both of whom are married. As they attempted to evade the camera, Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, humorously remarked, "Either they’re having an affair or they’re just too shy." This moment ignited a flurry of discussions across social media platforms.

Following the incident, Byrne, who had been serving as CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, resigned shortly thereafter. The company responded by launching an internal investigation and placing both Cabot and Byrne on administrative leave as inquiries progressed.

Reports indicate that Kristin Cabot filed for divorce on August 13 at Portsmouth Court in New Hampshire, marking a significant personal upheaval for Andrew Cabot, who is also the CEO of Privateer Rum and is facing his third divorce.

The viral footage led to widespread speculation online, with users quickly recognizing both Byrne and Cabot: Andy Byrne, married to marketing professional Megan Kerrigan, and Kristin Cabot, married to Andrew Cabot. Neither party has publicly addressed the incident, and despite ongoing discussions on social media, Astronomer has confirmed that Byrne has not issued any public statements.

As investigations continue, both individuals are navigating the fallout from this incident, raising questions about their future both personally and professionally.
