Power move by Megan Kerrigan Byron.
The wife of tech CEO Andy Byron that’s currently going viral online did the right thing and removed her husband’s last name from her Facebook account earlier today. And everyone is championing her for the decision, and rooting for her to “get that bag” from her husband who appeared to be cozying up next to one of his subordinates.
For a little backstory before we really dive in, Byron is a tech CEO for the software company Astronomer – which is reportedly worth over $1 million. The woman he was spotted with during a portion of the Coldplay concert that was highlighting those in the crowd was, ironically, Astronomer’s human resources chief Kristin Cabot. According to LinkedIn, she’s held that position for just over nine months.
Meanwhile, Andy Byron is married with two kids… well, we’ll see how much longer he is. I’d imagine some attorneys may be receiving phone calls before the office closes for the weekend. Coldplay front man Chris Martin was using the camera connected to the jumbotron to showcase some fans in the crowd, and the mid-concert bit went south fast when the camera landed on Byron and Cabot cuddling up with one another.
If you are trying to keep a secret relationship under wraps, it’s probably best to not attend a high-profile concert like Coldplay. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his alleged mistress, his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, learned that the hard way. They supposedly attended the concert together at Gillette Stadium is in Foxborough, and now their lives have likely been flipped upside down overnight.
As you’ll see in the video below, Byron and Cabot quickly separated and tried to hide their faces, but the damage was already done. Social media is forever, and one person just so happened to be recording the proceedings when it all went down. And it’s wild to hear Chris Martin narrate what was unfolding in real time:
“Oh look at these two. Oh come on, you’re okay. What? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.”
The lady next to them smiling with her hand on her face… she knew… they all knew.
And the fact that Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, quickly dropped the “Byron” from the name on her Facebook page earlier today also supports the fact that a divorce filing might be on the way. Social media users tracked her down online, and while some shared some not-so-nice comments on her page, most people were being very supportive of Megan for being strong and immediately separating herself from the tech CEO.
Andy Byron‘s wife has now dropped her married name on Facebook👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and left comments open on her Facebook!

Good for her… and totally understand why she would deactivate her account. No need to get bombarded with a bunch of messages because your alleged dirtbag husband cheated on you.
The story is currently captivating the internet, but let’s remember that these are real people with real lives facing some real consequences. And they have kids, so depending how old they are, this is absolutely devastating for them too.
I’m obviously not saying to show empathy for the husband… if he was cheating on his wife (AT A CONCERT), he deserves to face the music (no pun intended). Hopefully everything works out in Megan Kerrigan’s favor.
