"When a Coldplay concert "kiss cam" caught Cabot, Astronomer's former head of people, and Andy Byron, the company's former CEO, embracing, the footage quickly went viral. In the weeks that followed, both Cabot and Byron left their jobs. Now, Cabot, who was in the process of separating from her now-ex husband at the time of the infamous concert, has given her first public interviews to The New York Times and the Times of London."
"Cabot told both outlets that she and Byron had never kissed before the concert. She said they'd gotten along well since she joined Astronomer in November of 2024, and that she'd told him about her ongoing separation from Andrew Cabot shortly before the concert in July. That's when she said she learned that he, too, was going through a similar situation."
"By the time of the concert, Cabot told the Times of London that she had developed "a big happy crush," but she told The New York Times that she kept her feelings in check because he was her boss. At the concert, she said she had a few High Noons - the vodka seltzers well-known to college partiers - and the two started to act more like a couple. It was, she said, the only time they kissed."
