The HR executive at the center of a viral infidelity scandal<\/a> married into one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston.<\/p>\n

Kristin Cabot, who is on leave from her job at Astronomer following the embarrassing caught-on-Jumbotron incident<\/a> last week, appears to be married to Privateer Rum owner Andrew Cabot, according to social media posts.<\/p>\n

Kristin Cabot was caught on a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert sharing an embrace with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who resigned since the scandal broke. Grace Springer via Storyful<\/p>\n

The allegedly jilted husband touts his family lineage as the sixth-generation owner of the longstanding rum brand, founded by the \u201coriginal\u201d Andrew Cabot.<\/p>\n

The Cabot fortune has transcended generations, and was estimated at $200 million in a 1972 New York Times<\/a> profile of the family. That\u2019s $15.4 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear when Kristin and Andrew got married, but it\u2019s at least the second marriage for both.<\/a><\/p>\n

Her previous divorce was finalized in 2022.<\/p>\n

Kristin Cabot\u2019s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an \u201cadvisory board member\u201d at Privateer Rum since September 2020.<\/p>\n

Property records show that they bought a $2.2 million house on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year. <\/p>\n

The Cabot family is one of the original \u201cBoston Brahmin\u201d clans that controlled New England for centuries \u2014 a club so old, WASPy and distinguished that the Irish-Catholic Kennedys are left out in the cold. <\/p>\n

The family made its fortune in soot, known colloquially in industry circles as \u201ccarbon black,\u201d a key ingredient in car tires, and dates back to New England for 10 generations.<\/p>\n

But, family members have been behind a slew of businesses across New England \u2014 including the rum company. <\/p>\n

The family patriarch, Samuel Cabot, kick-started the family\u2019s fortune by marrying Eliza Perkins, the daughter of wealthy merchant trader.<\/p>\n

Photos of the her family appearing happy and affectionate were seen plastered all over Kristin Cabot\u2019s social media accounts in the wake of the scandal. Maud Cabot\/Facebook<\/p>\n

The family is so well known in Boston it\u2019s said locally that the \u201cCabots speak only to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a local poem goes, \u201d And this is good old Boston\/ The home of the bean and the cod\/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots\/ And the Cabots talk only to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cabots of yesteryear were seafarers and merchants who partook in the slave and opium trade in the early 19th century. <\/p>\n

They shared portions of their largesse over the years with New England educational institutions like Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Norwich University and the Perkins School for the blind, according to the profile.<\/p>\n

Heir Francis Cabot, of New York, once said of his family that over the years they\u2019ve been \u201cinterested in two things \u2014 one is marrying rich women and the other is group singing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The HR executive at the center of a viral infidelity scandal married into one of the oldest and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[5867,8731,19365,88,194,14731],"class_list":["post-24481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-alcohol","tag-boston","tag-coldplay-concert-cheating-scandal","tag-entertainment","tag-us-news","tag-wealthy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
