Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour has been making headlines for its unforgettable shows, but one recent concert drew attention for an entirely different reason. During a kiss cam moment at Gillette Stadium, two seemingly affectionate concertgoers appeared on the big screen. What initially seemed like a sweet, romantic moment quickly spiraled into scandal when the pair were identified as Andy Byron, CEO of tech firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of HR—both of whom are married, just not to each other.
The video of the duo went viral overnight, sparking outrage, memes, and widespread social media commentary. The public embarrassment only intensified as viewers dissected their visible panic and attempt to hide once they realized they’d been caught on camera. The situation escalated beyond gossip when Astronomer issued a formal statement, confirming the company had launched an internal investigation into the behavior of its two senior leaders.
Astronomer emphasized its commitment to professional standards, noting that leadership is expected to set the tone in both behavior and accountability. The company clarified that no other employees were involved, and that no official statement had yet come from Andy Byron, contrary to some circulating reports.
The fallout for both families was swift. Byron’s wife reportedly dropped his last name shortly after the scandal broke, and while details remain private, many expect the incident will lead to divorce. Kristin Cabot’s ex-husband is also said to be deeply impacted. Meanwhile, social media has continued its relentless reaction, flooding platforms with jokes and doctored images.
One high-profile figure to capitalize on the moment was former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown. Known for his provocative online behavior, Brown edited the viral Coldplay image to include himself embracing Gisele Bündchen—Tom Brady’s ex-wife—with a pointed caption. The post quickly gained tens of thousands of views and sparked heated reactions online.
While some fans laughed along, others criticized Brown for stirring up old drama. Even though Brady and Bündchen have remained amicable for the sake of their children, Brown’s post reopened wounds. The scandal, born from a brief stadium moment, continues to ripple across industries and social media alike.
