Former Astronomer executive Kristin Cabot has been seen publicly for the first time since a viral concert video linked her romantically to then-CEO Andy Byron.
The footage, captured on a Coldplay concert kiss cam, showed the two appearing affectionate while both were married to other people.
The clip went viral, prompting online speculation and backlash. Soon after, both resigned from their roles at the tech company.
In new photos outside her New Hampshire home, Cabot was watering plants without her wedding ring, drawing renewed attention. Public records
show she and her husband, Andrew Cabot, bought the home earlier this year. They have no children together but each has children from past relationships.
The kiss cam moment—complete with Chris Martin’s lighthearted reaction—spread quickly online, with internet users identifying both
executives and uncovering details of their marriages. Public opinion has been divided between criticism and calls for empathy.
Before the scandal, Cabot was respected for her people-first leadership, holding executive HR roles at firms like Neo4j. She has remained silent since
stepping down, and her future is uncertain. The episode underscores how quickly private moments can become public—and career-altering—in the digital age.
