CEO Caught Getting Cozy With Employee on Coldplay Kiss Cam – Chris Martin’s Reaction Says It All
A Coldplay concert in Massachusetts took an unexpected turn this week when the stadium’s kiss cam captured what fans are calling a “messy moment” between a tech CEO and one of his employees — and frontman Chris Martin’s live reaction only fueled the buzz.
The moment happened during Coldplay’s July 16th show at Gillette Stadium, when the camera zoomed in on Andy Byron, the married CEO of data company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer.
In the now-viral video, Byron is seen standing behind Cabot with his arms wrapped around her waist, while she holds his hands and leans back into him. What started as a casual moment turned awkward the second they noticed themselves on the jumbotron.
Chris Martin, clearly caught off guard, playfully pointed at the pair from the stage and said, “Oh look at these two!” But as soon as Byron and Cabot realized they were on camera, their smiles dropped. Cabot quickly turned her back and covered her face, while Byron awkwardly crouched down to avoid being seen.
Sensing the tension, Martin followed up with a surprised: “Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair… or they’re just really shy.”
The Coldplay frontman tried to keep the mood light, but his uncertainty was clear when he added, “I’m not quite sure what to do.”
After the clip exploded online, social media users pointed out Martin’s reaction as one of the funniest parts — with some calling it “priceless” and others saying it added “100x more drama” to the moment.
As of now, neither Byron nor Cabot has made any public statements. Meanwhile, the company Astronomer has already shut down a fake apology statement that had been circulating online under Byron’s name, calling it completely fabricated.
Byron is reportedly married, and Cabot finalized her divorce back in 2022 — though no further context about their relationship has been confirmed.
For now, Chris Martin has moved on — but clearly, the internet hasn’t.
