Megan Kerrigan Byron, the wife of Astronomers CEO Andy Byron, has become an unexpected focus of public attention following a viral moment at a Coldplay concert where her husband appeared on the venue’s Kiss Cam, embracing another woman.
The footage, which shows Andy Byron with Kristin Cabot — the company’s head of HR — triggered widespread speculation about an alleged affair and prompted a surge of support for Megan, who has since removed her surname from social media and deleted her Facebook account entirely.
🔍 Who Is Megan Kerrigan Byron?
Megan Kerrigan is a respected educator and school administrator. She currently serves as Associate Director of Lower School and Admissions for the Hope Graham Program at Bancroft School in Massachusetts, where she works closely with students who have language-based learning differences.
According to the school’s faculty listing, Kerrigan has dedicated her career to supporting inclusive education and is known for her discreet, low-profile presence both professionally and online.
🏡 Family Life
Megan and Andy Byron are believed to have been married for over a decade and share two children — teenage sons. While little is publicly known about the family’s private life, previously available photos on Megan’s Facebook showed the family smiling during hiking trips and school events. Those images have since been removed along with her account.
💬 Sudden Shift Online
After the Coldplay concert footage spread across social media and news platforms, users noticed that Megan had changed her Facebook display name, removing “Byron” and reverting to “Megan Kerrigan.” The profile was taken offline soon after, but not before screenshots of the happy family photos circulated online.
The change has been interpreted by many as a signal of personal distance or discontent in the wake of the public incident.
📹 The Viral Kiss Cam Moment
The controversy stems from a Coldplay show at Gillette Stadium in Boston, where Andy Byron was spotted with his arm around HR executive Kristin Cabot. When frontman Chris Martin jokingly called them out from the stage — unaware of their actual relationship statuses — cameras zoomed in on the pair, capturing an awkward moment that quickly went viral.
Byron, who has been CEO of the Cincinnati-based tech company Astronomer since 2022, is married to Megan but appeared overly familiar with Cabot during the concert. Neither party has publicly commented.
🧑💼 Andy Byron: Tech Executive Under Fire
Andy Byron’s career spans several top roles in the tech sector, including previous leadership positions at Lacework, Cybereason, and Fuze. According to his LinkedIn profile, he earned his degree from Providence College and has built a reputation in the cybersecurity and data infrastructure space.
Now, that professional track record is facing scrutiny as personal and corporate lines blur amid the unfolding scandal.
💔 Support for Megan Builds
While Megan has not issued a public statement, hundreds of social media users have rallied in support of her. Messages of solidarity and encouragement have surfaced across platforms, with many praising her quiet dignity in the face of public embarrassment.
Some commenters urged her to “take him for everything”, while others simply offered emotional support, calling her “graceful and strong.”
📌 What Comes Next?
There is currently no confirmation on whether the Byrons plan to separate or seek legal recourse. Megan’s school has not released a statement, and Andy Byron remains publicly silent.
As the story continues to develop, Megan Kerrigan Byron’s dignified silence is being noted as a sharp contrast to the viral scandal engulfing her husband and his company.
