In July 2025, the name Andy Byron exploded on the internet—maybe not for a reason he’d ever want. The Astronomer CEO found himself at the center of a viral storm after a brief, awkward moment on Coldplay’s kiss cam. Suddenly, everyone was asking: who is Andy Byron’s girlfriend, and what’s going on with his marriage?
The Viral Kiss Cam Moment
During a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium, Massachusetts, a stadium Jumbotron zoomed in on Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s Chief People Officer. The kiss cam lingered as Byron hugged Cabot, who quickly covered her face. Social media had a field day, with the internet instantly speculating about a possible affair between the two executives.
Frontman Chris Martin made it more awkward, joking, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” That joke, plus the viral video, turned their private moment into a huge public drama.
Who Is Andy Byron’s Wife?
Byron is actually married, not publicly linked to any “girlfriend,” but to Megan Kerrigan. Megan is a respected educator and currently Associate Director at Bancroft School, Massachusetts. They have two sons together and reportedly lived a quiet family life… until the concert.
After the incident, Megan dropped Byron’s surname from her social media profiles and deleted her Facebook and Instagram accounts—clear signals that their relationship is under severe strain. But as of now, there’s no evidence that Byron has a girlfriend; the only emotional link circulated is with Cabot, which remains an unconfirmed affair.
What About Kristin Cabot?
Kristin Cabot, seen in the viral video with Byron, is herself married—to Andrew Cabot, CEO of a Massachusetts-based distillery. She was reportedly stunned by the incident. No official statements have come from either Byron or Cabot about the nature of their relationship, but public and workplace scrutiny has mounted rapidly.
Fallout: Professional & Personal
The fallout was swift and brutal:
-
Byron resigned from Astronomer after intense backlash and an internal investigation.
-
Both Byron’s and Cabot’s family lives were instantly impacted. Photos of Byron and Megan’s previously “happy family” circulated online, adding to the emotional circus.
-
Megan Kerrigan’s name change and withdrawal from social media have been taken as strong hints of marital breakdown, though divorce has not been officially confirmed.

As far as anyone can find, Andy Byron does not have a public “girlfriend.” The headlines connect him with Kristin Cabot, not as a confirmed partner but because of the viral moment that led to intense speculation about an affair. His only official partner is (or was) his wife, Megan Kerrigan.
