Astronomer HR head Kristin Cabot found herself in the midst of scrutiny after she was seen in an intimate position with the company's then-CEO Andy Byron at the Coldplay Boston concert. The couple's quick separation when the kiss cam turned on them sparked affair rumors.
Following this, Astronomer put both Cabot and Byron on leave, pending an investigation, and the latter has resigned from his post as CEO.
Notably, both Cabot and Byron are married to other people. Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan, who dropped Byron from her social media names, and also deactivated her account, before seemingly popping back online.
Cabot, meanwhile, is married to Andrew Cabot, the owner of Privateer Rum, and part of one of Boston's most elite families. However, this is not Kristin Cabot's first marriage.

Andy Byron relationship and divorce
While there is no official confirmation of whether the statement about Byron, from what appears to be his wife's profile, is true or not, Megan dropped his last name from her social media, which indicates a rift at the very least.
