“Just Days Before the Coldplay Scandal, She Wore Her Wedding Ring with Pride — The Quiet Life of Kristin Cabot Before Everything Changed”

Just a few days ago, she looked like any other proud wife and mother — smiling wide, wedding ring gleaming in the sunlight, standing arm in arm with her husband and their children.

That woman was Kristin Cabot, the head of human resources at tech company Astronomer. In photos now spreading quickly across social media, she beams next to Andrew Cabot, the man many believe is her husband — and the owner of the rum company Privateer.

The pictures were taken in May 2024, long before Kristin’s name would be dragged into one of the most talked-about tech scandals of the summer.

At that time, there were no headlines. No viral videos. Just a woman in a quiet coastal town, wearing a ring that symbolized years of love and commitment.

But things can change — fast.

This past week, a TikTok video captured something that shocked thousands: Kristin and her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, appearing intimately close at a Coldplay concert in the Boston area. The moment turned uncomfortable when frontman Chris Martin jokingly called them out in front of the entire crowd:

“Looks like they’re either having a secret fling… or they’re just really shy,” he joked with a grin.

But the internet didn’t take it lightly. The video spread like wildfire, and suddenly, Kristin wasn’t just an HR chief anymore. She was the woman from the Coldplay scandal.

The fallout was immediate. Megan, Andy’s wife, dropped his last name from her Facebook profile—then, without a word, wiped her presence from social media entirely.

As the speculation grew louder, people began digging into Kristin’s life. And that’s when the old photos resurfaced — the ones with Andrew and their kids, the matching rings, the family smiles.

Official records painted an even clearer picture: Kristin and Andrew have been sharing a \$2.2 million home in Rye, New Hampshire, which they purchased just five months ago.Public records show they share the same residence, and Kristin has been a member of the advisory board at Andrew’s Privateer Rum company since 2020.

Whether they were legally married remains uncertain — no official word has been given. But from the outside looking in, their life appeared complete.

Now, both Kristin and Andy Byron are on leave as Astronomer launches a formal investigation. In the meantime, leadership has shifted, and a new interim CEO has stepped in.

There’s no way to know what happens next.

But maybe that’s the real story here — how fast everything we think is solid can suddenly fall apart.

One moment, you’re there with your family, beaming for the camera.

The next, you’re the headline everyone is reading.

And somewhere in between, a ring loses its meaning — not because it was never real, but because something broke quietly behind the scenes long before the world noticed.
