“No, this isn't me. I wouldn't be caught dead at a Coldplay concert… I'm the Andy Byron who makes videos for big screens, not the one who gets caught on them. If you want to make video content that goes viral for the right reasons, let's connect 😂” the CEO's namesake wrote.

When the camera focused on them, the two quickly moved away and hid their faces. Chris Martin quipped, "Oh look at these two... either they're having an affair or they're very shy."
Byron and Cabot are now facing flak on social media, with users alleging ‘cheating’ and ‘affair’. The Astronomer CEO is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, and the couple resides in New York. Neither Byron nor Cabot appears to have addressed the affair allegations yet.

Several social media users posted the statement saying , Byron has apologized amid the row. A screenshot, deemed fake, went viral.
“I want to acknowledge the moment that's been circulating online, and the disappointment it's caused,” the alleged statement reads.
“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,” it adds.
We cannot verify the authenticity of the reported statement as of yet.
