Astronomer CEO Adam Byron was seen hugging his company's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert, when the kiss cam turned on the two, but they soon hid their face, prompting band frontman Chris Martin to remark that either the two were very shy or were having an affair.
The matter has since blown up on social media, though no official confirmation about whether the two (both married) were having an affair has been forthcoming.
