Wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, Megan Kerrigan Byron, received sympathy messages on her Facebook from strangers Thursday morning after her husband was apparently caught cheating with his office colleague in a viral video. Andy Byron and his company’s chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, were seen in each other’s embrace at a Coldplay concert in Boston. The secret affair might have remained secret had the couple not been featured on a big screen at the concert with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin drawing everyone’s attention to them without understanding that they did not want it. As Andy Byron ducked the camera and Kristin Cabot hid her face, Chris Martin understood that he did something embarrassing. “All right, come on, you’re OK,” Martin continued. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.“But little did Chris Martin know that he basically outed the affair of a married tech CEO.Coldplay played Tuesday and Wednesday at Gillette Stadium, home of the NFL’s New England Patriots, in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Internet loved the scandal that unraveled through social media comments as social media users identified Andy Byron as the Astronomer CEO and the woman with him as the HR of the company. While Andy Byron’s wife, a mother of two, maintains a private life, her Facebook page was flooded with sympathy messages. “I really hope if she sees all this and its new to her that she is surrounded by people who truly love and support her to help her get through this,” one comment read. “This is so wrong and so hurtful.”“It’s so much worse seeing she’s obviously a [kind] person and a doting mother,” another Facebook reply read. “You don’t deserve this.”As the social media tril went on, users demanded that both of them should be punished by the company’s rulebook and both of them should be divorced by their respective partners.
