ALBAWABA - On July 20, 2025, in Boston, A video going viral of Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and the company's Head of Human Resources Christine Cabot in what looked like a love moment at a Coldplay concert in Boston has turned the concert into the center of a business controversy.
The video shown on the venue's big screen got a lot of attention from people at the concert, on social media, and in the news. It led to questions about the AI startup's work ethics.
When it came out that both leaders are married to other people, the situation became even more controversial. Christine Cabot is still formally married to Andrew Cabot, who runs a booze company in Massachusetts. According to public records, the couple sold a house together in Watertown earlier this year and bought a new one in Rye, New Hampshire. This suggests that they are still married. Christine wore her wedding ring in recent family pictures as well, but she didn't have it on when she went to the show.
Andy Byron has a wife as well. After the video went viral, his wife, Meghan Byron, allegedly took his last name off of her social media accounts. This has led to more rumors about how the scandal has affected their relationship.
Because of what happened, Astronomer put out a statement saying that there would be an internal probe. It was made clear by the company that it holds its leaders to high standards of behavior and responsibility. A official review has been initiated by the board of directors. There are still no specifics about whether Byron or Cabot will be suspended or asked to step down.
So far, neither side has said anything in public about it. As the story continues to get a lot of attention, the result of the review will likely decide their future with the business.
