The fallout from a viral incident at a Coldplay concert has led to Kristin Cabot, former HR head at Astronomer, filing for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot. The incident involved Cabot and her boss, Andy Byrne, at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, which quickly became a media sensation.
The ‘kiss cam’ captured Cabot and Byrne, leading to commentary from Coldplay singer Chris Martin and widespread social media activity. Byrne, who had been the CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, resigned in the aftermath. The company initiated an internal investigation, placing both Cabot and Byrne on leave while the inquiry continued.
Divorce papers were filed in Portsmouth Court, New Hampshire, on August 13. The filing underscores the personal challenges for Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum. The event sparked significant online discussion. Neither Cabot nor Byrne have made any public comments on the incident, and Byrne has not released any public statements. Internal investigations are ongoing, casting uncertainty over their professional and personal lives.
