Astronomer announced a formal investigation into CEO Andy Byron and human resource officer Kristin Cabot after the coworkers' purported affair was accidentally hard launched by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin at a concert.

A CEO, his HR chief, an awkward hug, a viral video, and a woman the internet swore was their stunned colleague, until Astronomer stepped in with a plot twist.

A Coldplay concert has gone viral for capturing an embarrassing moment between CEO of Astronomer Andy Byron and his Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot.

Never would I have thought, here in the grand year of 2025, salacious gossip would break out as the result of a Coldplay concert. But, earlier this week at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, Chris Martin spilled the tea on a current affair.

Alyssa Stoddard, Astronomer's Senior Director of People, was standing next to CEO Andy Boyd and HR exec Kristin Cabot during their viral kiss cam moment, raising questions about who in the company knew about the affair before it went public.

A Coldplay concert in Boston sparked a controversy. Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot were seen in a video. Their interaction raised eyebrows. Another employee, Alyssa Stoddard, was also present.
