Is Kristin Cabot married? Who is her husband? Questions surface amid Coldplay ‘cheating’ scandal
Kristin Cabot, who serves as Chief People Officer at Astronomer, was seen with company CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert, sparking ‘cheating' rumours.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was seen hugging Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer, from behind, at a Coldplay concert, but the two quickly hid their faces when the kiss cam focused on them. This prompted band frontman Chris Martin to comment that either they were very shy or were having an affair.
Amid this buzz, Byron has disabled comments on his LinkedIn profile, while his wife, Megan Kerrigan, seems to have dropped her last name from her Facebook profile.

As per reports, Cabot, too, is married, and her husband is Kenneth C Thornby. Sharing a photo of Thornby, one X user remarked, “Hope he gets a divorce lawyer too." Hindustan Times cannot confirm the relationship between Thornby and Cabot as of now.
Kristin, joined Astronomer 9 months back and reportedly has a reputation in Silicon Valley for scaling company culture during rapid growth phases. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Gettysburg College, and has previously worked with ObserveIT, Neo4j, and Proofpoint.
Aftermath of the cheating allegations
In the wake of the cheating allegations, Byron has reportedly deleted an earlier post where he praised Cabot.
However, the scandal does not seem to be anywhere close to dying down, with social media users flocking to Coldplay's first X post amid these rumours, to poke fun at the kiss cam moment. Some said that Thronby, too, should be getting a divorce from Cabot, while other posts on social media try to capture his perspective as the husband logging into work the next day after his wife goes to a concert with her boss.
