It was a night to remember at the concert of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin at Boston's Gillette Stadium.
Apart from the songs and musical extravaganza, as the concert was underway with Chris Martin, cameras swept across the crowds for a "Kiss Cam" feature, wherein a couple were seen hugging each other. As they noticed the attention, the couple were seen hiding their faces.
At first, Chris thought the camera had captured a sweet moment. He said, "Look at these two..." Chris added, "Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."
Well, the pair turned out to be none other than Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, and the company's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, who is allegedly cheating on his husband with the HR chief, Kristin Cabot.
Within hours, the internet was in full detective mode. LinkedIn profiles were stalked about the duo. Soon after the incident hit the internet, Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, deleted her social media page.

"Man, all you had to do was no-sell it. If you hadn't gone down like you'd been shot, nobody would've ever known. What, you think your spouses are sitting at home watching Coldplay jumbotron footage? You've absolutely played yourselves," one user wrote.

Anyone else on “Possibly cheating couple caught at the Coldplay concert in Boston” side of TikTok? Speculation is he’s Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer and she’s Kristin Cabot (Thornby), also of Astronomer, as Chief People Officer role. If true she’s *really* living up to the title. pic.twitter.com/grF9fnXz6f
