Megan Kerrigan, the wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, has stealthily dropped “Byron” from her Facebook account, sparking rumors of an escalating marital divide. The development follows just days after the release of a viral video showing her husband in a compromising moment with Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer, at a Coldplay performance in Gillette Stadium.
Although neither Megan nor Andy has made a public announcement, social media users were quick to pick up on the change. One X user, @anuibi, wrote, “She removed ‘Byron’ from her social media profiles quietly.” Although the action hasn’t been confirmed by formal sources, most see it as a subtle but effective rebuke to the much-publicized scandal.

Who Is Megan Kerrigan?
Megan Kerrigan is a respected educator. She is presently Associate Director of the Lower School and the Hope Graham Program Admission at Bancroft School, where her expertise lies in inclusive education and child development. She and Andy Byron have two kids and are said to live in New York.
The internet community has overwhelmed Megan’s social media with support messages, the majority of them terming her reaction “dignified and gracious.” Other people have called upon her to sue her husband, considering his high net worth and senior executive role.
What Happened at the Concert?
The controversy broke out after audience members took pictures of Byron and Cabot in what seemed to be a romantic kiss during Coldplay’s concert. The two were caught by the Kiss Cam and elicited an impromptu comment from Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin:
“Oh, look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
Byron and Cabot were quick to cover up their faces, but the clip spread like wildfire on TikTok, X, and Reddit, triggering a mass backlash and public conjecture.
Kristin Cabot and Professional Backlash
Kristin Cabot was hired as Chief People Officer at Astronomer in 2024, promoting trust-building in organizations. Her appearance in the video, however, has raised concerns regarding ethics in the workplace, considering that she is in a leadership role in HR.
Andy Byron’s estimated net worth is between USD 20 million and USD 70 million, with substantial equity in Astronomer. If the couple goes through with divorce, Megan could be in line for a major settlement, including half of his reported USD 12–65 million share.
