Inside the 'affair' tens of millions of us just watched.

It's the unexpected Kiss Cam moment the internet can't stop talking about.

During Coldplay's July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, the band's Kiss Cam was panning the crowd, showing off happy couples swaying along to the music on the big screen.

Sweet, right?

Well… only if you're with the right person.

When the camera landed on Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his colleague Kristin Cabot, the pair appeared cosy, smiling and swaying with his arm around her shoulders.

"Oh, look at these two," Chris Martin said from the stage.

But the second they noticed the camera, the mood shifted. Cabot turned away and covered her face, while Byron quickly ducked out of view.

"All right, come on, you're OK," Martin continued. "Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure."

Watch the awkward video from the Coldplay concert. Post continues below.

Cue: the internet exploding.

Why? Because, according to multiple US outlets, Cabot is not Byron's wife.

Talk about awkward…

So, who exactly are the players at the centre of this?

Well, US Weekly reports, according to Byron's since-deleted LinkedIn page, he's a longtime tech executive who joined data firm Astronomer as CEO in 2023.

A comment on his profile reportedly described him as "a highly inspirational, motivational and experienced sales professional".

Cabot, who is Astronomer's Chief People Officer, joined the company last November.

At the time, Byron praised her "exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies" as being "critical" to the team.

"She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer," he continued.

Cabot said she was "energised" by Byron about the opportunities presented at Astronomer.

"I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resources, as the real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy," she said.

"There are plenty of companies out there where a leadership team doesn't recognize the value that a strong people leader and people team can bring to a company. It's not just about benefits or catered lunches. There's so much more to it."

Cabot described herself as a "fearless change-agent" on LinkedIn and has a background in people and culture roles.

"I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants," her page said.

According to the New York Post, Cabot finalised her divorce in 2022.

Since the video went viral, Byron's LinkedIn profile has been deleted.

His wife reportedly removed his surname from her Facebook page before deleting her account altogether after being inundated with comments following the video.

Neither Byron, Cabot, nor Astronomer have commented publicly on the incident, though a fake apology quoting Coldplay lyrics has been making the rounds.

Mamamia has contacted Astronomer for comment.
