In a stunning turn of events, Kristin Cabot, who formerly held a leadership role in Human Resources at Astronomer, has initiated divorce proceedings against her husband, Andrew Cabot. The filing comes just months after a highly publicized incident at a Coldplay concert, where Cabot and her boss, Andy Byrne, were captured on the ‘kiss cam,’ sparking widespread media attention and speculation.
The incident occurred at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts when the camera focused on Cabot and Byrne, despite both being married at the time. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin humorously remarked on the situation, leading to immediate social media buzz and subsequent discussion. The fallout was swift, with Byrne, who had been CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, resigning within days. The company launched an internal investigation, placing both Cabot and Byrne on leave as the probe intensified.
Divorce papers were filed by Kristin Cabot on August 13 in Portsmouth Court, New Hampshire, adding to the complex situation following the viral incident. The divorce represents a significant personal crisis for Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum, marking his third divorce. The viral video led to online discussions identifying Byrne and Cabot. Neither Cabot nor Byrne have issued any public statements regarding the incident, and no public statements have been made by Byrne. The two are facing internal investigations, raising questions about their personal and professional futures.
