In the wake of Andy and Kristin’s viral PDA footage, the NY-based software company Astronomer confirmed that the HR executive had handed in her resignation.
“Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer — she’s resigned,” the company said on Thursday, July 24.
Sources also claimed there was trouble in paradise with her husband Andrew, who was away on a work trip when Kristin was caught canoodling with her company’s CEO.

Kristin and Andy’s workplace romance was busted when they attended a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on July 16.
The front-row lovers couldn’t keep their hands off each other and were caught smooching before they appeared on the “kiss cam.”
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” lead singer Chris Martin said when they awkwardly tried to hide their faces.

The touchy concertgoers laid low until Kristin was spotted looking somber in her garden on Wednesday, July 23.
While watering her garden, an unidentified man had stepped out of a car with Kristin’s son from her previous marriage.
She then reportedly spoke to the man in her driveway.

Andrew, Kristin’s thrice-married husband, was reportedly away in Japan for a work trip when the alleged office fling was exposed at the concert.
He was “in Asia for a few weeks and returned on Saturday, so he was gone while all this went down,” a source told the New York Post. “Poor guy.”

Before the controversy, Kristin and Andrew were talking about “how in love” they were. However, their tone changed after the HR executive became a co-star in the Coldplay concert saga.
Kristin noticeably wasn’t wearing her wedding ring at the Coldplay show, according to reports. She was seen wearing the wedding ring in previous photos on social media.
“The family is now saying they have been having marriage troubles for several months and were discussing separating, which I find interesting since, as of a month ago, they were saying how in love they are,” the insider told the outlet.

Kristin was reportedly not wearing her wedding ring when she was spotted at her $2.2 million home on Wednesday.
There were new “no trespassing” signs that had popped up on the driveway of the property in Rye, New Hampshire.
She and Andrew bought the two-story, four-bedroom home in February, just months before the scandal unfolded.

Reports said the couple took out a $1.6 million mortgage with Morgan Stanley to buy the New Hampshire home. They also had plans of renovating the “fixer-upper” property, sitting on 1.42 acres of land.
Kristin, whose maiden name is Stanek, first tied the knot in 2007 to Ken Thornby.
They welcomed two children before she filed for divorce in 2018. The divorce was finalized in 2020.

Andrew, an heir to the $15.4 billion Cabot family fortune, has been married at least thrice before, according to reports.
He exchanged wedding vows with first wife Maud in 1993 and shares two children with her.
They separated in 2011 and jointly filed for divorce in 2013.

Andrew married his second wife, Julie, in 2014 and filed for divorce in 2018.
He is a sixth-generation heir of the Cabot family—one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston.
The Cabots belong to the clan of “Boston Brahmins,” which refers to a class of wealthy, educated, elite members that held a prestigious place in Boston society in the 19th century.

The Cabot family legacy is so popular in Boston that it made its way into a local poem.
“And this is good old Boston/ The home of the bean and the cod/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to God,” reads the poem.
Andrew runs the Massachusetts-based spirits company Privateer Rum and serves as the CEO and COO.
Neighbors called Andy Byron’s alleged infidelity “disgusting”

Andy, on the other hand, is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron and shares two children with her.
Megan fled their $1.4 million home in Northborough, Massachusetts, and has been holed up in their $2.4 million Maine mansion amid the crisis, sources claimed to the Daily Mail.
Neighbors called Andy’s alleged infidelity “disgusting.”
“The family does not want to talk about it,” said one person living in their neighborhood.

Andy resigned from his role as Astronomer CEO immediately after his video went viral.
The company said the recent events did not reflect the “standard” that leaders are expected to maintain.
“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the company said in its statement while announcing Andy’s resignation.
“You can tell she’s in a sad state,” one commented online after Kristin’s recent appearance

Cabot: "Ya know, why don't the two of us get away for a little while. My family has a nice little cove in Maine we could stay in" Wife, an Angela Lansbury fan: "Aw, Hell no." (Someone was m******d by a jealous spouse in Cabot Cove every damned week for several years. I suspect the real culprit was a little old lady named Jessica Fletcher, because when she moved to the big city, the murders followed her. But from her years of "research" being an author, she was always able to pin it on someone else.)

Why no consequences for the woman sitting next to the pair? Apparently a co-worker who knew about the pair of cheaters.

Because something interesting finally happened at a Coldplay gig?

They paid her out to resign. They don’t want more scandal of her filing a wrongful dismissal suit, possibly with sexual harassment claims so they negotiated a settlement with her resignation and an NDA.

Shouldn't cheat on your spouse. Definitely shouldn't do it in public. Enough of this story though. Sure, a CEO and an HR Exec are two of the most hated titles in the world, but let it go. Private matter that Chris Martin didn't need to comment on.

The Cabots are old, old money and power. The kind of people F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about. And this is good old Boston, The home of the bean and the cod, Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots, And the Cabots talk only to God Sure the hubby, if he’s anything like other old money, has a string of mistresses. The wife could have all the wiener she wanted. Her unforgivable sin was not keeping it quiet. BTW the Cabot’s money all came from opium, rum, transportation of enslaved, and shipping. The Mafia had nothing on them.

Boston native here. Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Having grown up in the area, I can tell you that the Brahmin types always looked down on the unwashed children of immigrants like me.

If you're having problems in your marriage, *why* would you buy a $2.2 million house with your spouse? Are you stupid? Kris + Bye-Bye deserve everything that's being thrown at them. Mr. Cabot + STBX-Mrs. B do not.

I thought that Kristin Cabot had been divorced for several years before this scandal?

OK, just being devil's advocate for the hell of it: Do we know what we think we know? Don't get me wrong; I'm with everyone else in thinking, "BUSTED!" But Mike Crow's comment that they would never have been caught if they didn't react so guilty got me thinking: Is their horror, "Oh, no... now the world knows we have s*x together!!!" or was it "OMG, look at the "kiss cam!" We look like lovers!" Don't get me wrong: I would NEVER do this and I would definitely not be OK with my spouse doing this, but there is a difference between heading off course, and having already gone there. (UPDATE: His wife was mad at him for not doing things together. That's pretty damning.)

You don't stand behind a woman with your arms around her and your hands holding onto her dirtypillows (thank you, Stephen King/Carrie's mother) as he is doing in one of the photos above if you aren't already intimate.
