Astronomer CEO Andy Byron
I really don’t care that this guy was caught cheating and cannot believe it’s coming up in my feed so much! This guy is not TMZ material just as Dave Grohl
is no longer TMZ material and he tried to make his affair an issue.

The HR executive at the center of a viral infidelity scandal married into one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston.
Kristin Cabot, who is on leave from her job at Astronomer following the embarrassing, caught-on-jumbotron incident last week, appears to be married to Privateer
Rum owner Andrew Cabot, according to social media posts.

The allegedly jilted husband touts his family lineage as the sixth-generation owner of the longstanding rum brand, founded by the “original” Andrew Cabot.
The Cabot fortune has spanned generations, and was estimated at $200 million in a 1972 New York Times profile of the family. That’s $15.4 billion in 2025.

It’s not clear when Kristin and Andrew got married, but it’s at least the second marriage for each.
Her previous divorce was finalized in 2022.
Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020.

Property records show that they bought a $2.2 million house on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year.
The Cabot family is one of the original “Boston Brahmin” clans that controlled New England for centuries — a club so old, WASPy and distinguished that the
Irish-Catholic Kennedys are left out in the cold.
The family made its fortune in soot, known colloquially in industry circles as “carbon black,” a key ingredient in car tires, and dates back to New England
for 10 generations.
The family patriarch, Samuel Cabot, kickstarted the family fortune by marrying Eliza Perkins, the daughter of a wealthy merchant trader.
The family is so well known in Boston, it’s said locally that the “Cabots speak only to God.”
As a local poem goes, “And this is good old Boston/ The home of the bean and the cod/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to
God.”
The Cabots of yesteryear were seafarers and merchants who partook in the slave and opium trades in the early 19th century.
They shared portions of their largesse over the years with New England educational institutions like Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Norwich University and the Perkins School for the Blind, according to the profile.
Heir Francis Cabot, of New York, once said of his family that over the years, they’ve been “interested in two things — one is marrying rich women and the
other is group singing.”

guess cheating happens for upper-class people, too.
being married to an HR chick would be like being married to a cop.
why do people get married?

Its the typical lets throw some chew toys to the people.

HR exec caught on Coldplay cam resigns after embrace with CEO went viral
Associated Press
The executive who was caught on camera embracing the CEO of her company at a Coldplay concert in a moment that went viral has resigned.
The company, Astronomer, confirmed that its executive in charge of human resources has left.
“Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned," spokesman Taylor Jones said in a brief statement.
Her departure follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation.

The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair’s shocked faces filling social media feeds
Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his “Jumbotron Song” during the concert last week
at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the
camera while Byron ducked out of the frame.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet.
When the video first spread online it wasn't immediately clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities. The company has
previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP.
Both of their profiles have been now removed from Astronomer's website and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted.
Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data.
Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.
