Now they gotta face the music.<\/p>\n
A \u201ckiss cam\u201d moment broadcast at a Coldplay concert struck a scandalous note when it apparently exposed a cheating tech tycoon and his head-of-HR mistress \u2014 as the band\u2019s frontman, Chris Martin, mused that they must be \u201chaving an affair.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple \u2014 identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm\u2019s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot \u2014 scrambled to hide their faces when they were caught on the jumbotron canoodling at Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

As the camera panned toward them, Byron had his arms around Cabot\u2019s chest, with her fingers intertwined with his.<\/p>\n
They quickly realized they were on the screen prompting Cabot to fling her hands over her face and quickly turn around while Byron ducked down out of view.<\/p>\n
At first, Martin thought the camera had captured a sweet moment. \u201cLook at these two,\u201d he said tenderly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But their reaction quickly left him confused.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, what?\u201d Martin can be heard saying on stage, according to a TikTok video. \u201cEither they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re just very shy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly sh-t. I hope we didn\u2019t do something bad,\u201d he said, according to additional footage taken right after.<\/p>\n

The pair appear to work closely together at Astronomer, an AI and data company valued at about $1.2 billion. When Cabot was hired in November of last year, Byron gushed about her 20 years of HR experience and \u201cexceptional leadership\u201d skills.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cabot said her conversations with Byron before her hiring had \u201cenergized\u201d her.<\/p>\n

Byron appears to be married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Cabot recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby.<\/p>\n
Cabot and Thornby filed for divorce in 2018 and the split was finalized in 2022, according to Massachusetts court records. It\u2019s unclear if she has since remarried.<\/p>\n
The former couple had at least one child, with Thornby being made to pay Cabot a lump child support payment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Observers Thursday were quick to point out she needs a lesson from her own HR handbook.<\/p>\n
