Former Astronomer executive Kristin Cabot was photographed outside her New Hampshire home for the first time since a viral concert video linked her romantically to then-CEO Andy Byron. The footage, captured on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert, showed the two appearing affectionate, sparking online speculation and backlash. Both were married to other people and resigned from their roles at the tech company following the incident.
In the new images, Cabot was seen watering plants without her wedding ring, prompting renewed attention on her personal life. Public records show that she and her husband, Andrew Cabot, purchased their current home earlier this year. The couple has no children together, though each has children from previous relationships. Kristin has remained silent publicly since stepping down from her Chief People Officer position. The kiss cam video’s awkward moment and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin’s lighthearted reaction quickly went viral online. Internet users soon identified both executives and uncovered details about their marriages. While public response has been mixed—some criticizing, others calling for empathy—the incident has had lasting consequences on their careers and public image. Before the controversy, Cabot was known for her people-first leadership style in the tech sector. She previously held executive HR roles at companies like Neo4j and had expressed enthusiasm for her role at Astronomer. As attention fades, Cabot’s future remains uncertain, but the incident serves as a reminder of how quickly private moments can become public narratives in the digital age.
