Chris Martin reportedly lashes out at the CEO of Astronomer following his split with actress Dakota Johnson
In an unexpected turn of events, a seemingly innocent moment at Coldplay's Music Of The Spheres tour has sent shockwaves through the tech industry and beyond. The incident, which took place at the Gillette Stadium near Boston on July 16, 2025, involved Andy Byron, CEO of the tech platform Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the Chief People Officer of the same company.
During Chris Martin's live show, the "kiss cam" unexpectedly panned onto Byron and Cabot, who were seen visibly close, with Byron having his arm around Cabot. The body language of the two individuals sparked immediate speculation about a potential affair. In the footage, Cabot can be seen visibly covering her face and turning away, while Byron quickly left the camera frame. The video, which has since gone viral online, ignited a flurry of public and media attention.
Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman, commented live on the moment with a touch of humor and ambiguity, saying: "Look at these two" before adding "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." This comment further fueled the speculation surrounding the incident and captured public interest.
However, it's important to note that there have been no direct reports linking this incident to the recent split between Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson. The viral moment is centered around the CEO and HR chief's interaction, not Martin himself. Thus, any connection between this scandal and Martin and Johnson’s relationship appears to be unfounded or purely speculative based on the available information.
Neither Byron nor Cabot has publicly commented on the affair allegations as of now. The video of the incident has gained significant attention on social media platforms, adding another emotional layer to the recent split between Martin and Johnson, which was reported just days prior.
The tech firm, Astronomer, valued over $1.3 billion, has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. The fallout from the incident may have potentially destroyed a marriage and a billion-dollar career, as social media speculation about an "affair" between Byron and Cabot continues to circulate.
In this complex web of personal and professional lives, one thing is certain: the incident at the Coldplay concert has sparked widespread discussion and speculation, shedding light on the private lives of some of the tech industry's most influential figures.
