Andrew Cabot shared the news following the shocking revelation that his wife, Kristin Cabot, was seen kissing her boss, Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, during a performance in July 2023.
The moment, captured on the Jumbotron, ignited a media frenzy as the couple awkwardly separated upon realizing they were being filmed. Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, humorously commented on the situation, saying, “Either they’re having an affair, or they are just very shy.”
