Coldplay concert viral video: Megan Kerrigan, wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, drops surname from FB profile
Viral video shows her husband in an intimate moment with company’s Chief Public Officer, Kristen Cabot, at a Coldplay concert
PTC Web Desk: Megan Kerrigan, wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, has deleted her surname from her Facebook profile following the viral spread of a video showing her husband in an intimate moment with the company’s Chief Public Officer, Kristen Cabot, at a Coldplay concert. The incident, captured during a "Kiss Cam" moment at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, has left social media buzzing with questions about Byron’s actions, considering his marital status.
The video shows Byron with his arms around Cabot, both seemingly caught off guard when the camera focused on them. Byron quickly ducked out of sight, while Cabot, clearly embarrassed, tried to avert her face to avoid being recognised. In a twist of irony, Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, noticed the duo and remarked, "Oh look at these two. Either they are having an affair, or they are just very shy."
A woman sitting nearby grinned, placing her hand over her face in apparent awkwardness. The video quickly went viral, with many social media users voicing their reactions. One comment read, "Taking your cheating partner to a public concert with cameras is just wild. I pity his wife," while another remarked, "Imagine having so little respect for yourself and another woman's marriage that you're okay with this."
According to reports from Page Six, Kerrigan, who serves as an Associate Director at the Bancroft School, has since deactivated her Facebook account. Byron, who assumed the CEO role in 2023, had hired Cabot as Chief Public Officer in November 2024. He had even praised her in a now-deleted LinkedIn post, calling her hiring a "transformative" phase for the company.
Byron and Kerrigan, parents to two children, have yet to publicly comment on the incident, which has sparked intense public scrutiny of their private lives. With this viral moment continuing to grab attention, the future of Byron’s professional and personal relationships remains under the microscope.
