Did Astronomer CEO Andy Byron issue an apology letter after the viral Coldplay concert video? Check this

Astronomer Andy Byron and the company's HR head Kristin Cabot became the talk of the internet after they were seen getting close at a recent Coldplay concert. A video of the two cuddling and kissing during the show has gone viral on social media platforms. A statement by Byron has been going viral addressing the situation, taking responsibility, and requesting privacy, which has been widely circulated on social media.

Statement

I want to acknowledge the moment that's been circulating online, and the disappointment it's caused. What was supposed to be a night of music and joy turned into a deeply personal mistake playing out on a very public stage. I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.

This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I'm taking time to reflect, to take accountability, and to figure out the next steps, personally and professionally. I ask for privacy as I navigate that process.

I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's life into a spectacle.

As a friend once sang: 'Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you."

According to X’s Community Notes, the account that shared the alleged statement by Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is a parody account — meaning the statement is ‘fake’.

However, we personally do not verify the statement.

Andy Byron is the CEO of Astronomer, a US-based software company specializing in data tools, notably Apache Airflow. Since taking the helm in 2023, Byron has guided the company through significant growth, expanding into AI and cloud infrastructure.

Kristin Cabot, the company's head of HR, appeared in the viral video alongside him. Neither she nor he has made a public statement about the incident.

When Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, saw the couple on the jumbotron, he had a memorable reaction. "Look at these two," he said. However, Kristin Cabot immediately covered her face and turned away, while Byron ducked. Martin, puzzled, then said, "Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. Holy sh-t. I hope we didn't do something bad." Byron, a married man, was caught cheating on his wife publicly. Cabot and Byron have become a viral sensation on social media, dominating conversations. Meanwhile, his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, has reportedly removed her last name from her Facebook account.
