The wife of Astronomer’s CEO Andy Byron has taken down her entire Facebook profile after photos of her husband appearing intimate with another woman — reportedly the company’s head of human resources — went viral following a Coldplay concert incident.

Megan Kerrigan, who had maintained a public social media presence showcasing moments from her family life, deleted her account on Thursday. Before its removal, the page featured images of the couple enjoying time with their two sons, including snapshots from outdoor excursions and family celebrations.
In one now-deleted cover photo, the family was seen smiling during a hiking trip, standing in front of a scenic creek. Kerrigan and Byron appeared close and relaxed, with their sons standing at their sides. Other photos captured family milestones such as graduations, suggesting a previously united household.

The account’s takedown came less than 24 hours after footage surfaced online from the Coldplay concert, in which Byron was seen sitting closely and affectionately with a woman identified by online sleuths as the company’s head of HR. The clip quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking outrage and speculation.
Before removing the page, Kerrigan reportedly edited her profile to remove her married surname, further fueling rumours of marital discord. While neither she nor Byron has issued a public statement, the abrupt online activity suggests the family is grappling with the fallout from the public spectacle.

Astronomer, a data platform company based in the U.S., has not commented on the matter. The internal relationship between a CEO and HR head could also raise concerns regarding company ethics and leadership accountability.
Meanwhile, internet users have continued to dissect the situation, with many expressing sympathy for Kerrigan and questioning the professional implications for Byron and the HR executive involved.
M10News will continue monitoring the situation as it develops.
