Former astronomy colleagues, Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron, have maintained their connection following their now-famous appearance at a Coldplay concert.

In a profile of Cabot published by the New York Times on December 18, it was revealed that she and Byron, 51, have “stayed in touch throughout the summer,” discussing both business updates and family matters.

Cabot, 53, shared with The Times, “Honestly, a lot of it was, like: ‘Hi. It’s 11 o’clock on a Tuesday. Any advice?’” This reflects their new routine since their departures in July.

Both Cabot and Byron resigned from their roles as Chief People Officer and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, following a viral incident. The duo, each married to other people, were caught on a Jumbotron sharing a moment at a Coldplay concert over the summer.

According to Cabot, she last met with Byron in September where they agreed that “speaking with each other was going to make it too hard for everyone to move on and heal.” They’ve since had “minimal” communication.

While speaking with the outlet, Cabot stressed that she never had an affair with her then-boss.

“I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss,” she said. “It’s not nothing, and I took accountability and I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay.”

Cabot continued, “I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them.”

Kristin had quietly separated from her husband, Andrew Cabot, shortly before attending the Coldplay concert with Byron.

Former Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot made headlines after she and the company’s former CEO Andy Byron appeared on the kiss cam at the July 16 Coldplay concert — but what’s the deal with her love life? Cabot turned around and hid her face when Coldplay frontman Chris Martin put her and Byron on […]

“I hadn’t been out in ages,” she said of inviting Byron to join her friends at the show. “I wanted to put a cute outfit on and go out and dance and laugh and have a great night, and that’s how it was tracking.”

Kristin, however, wasn’t thinking about what her date with Byron would mean from an HR perspective.

“Some inside part of my brain might have been jumping up and down and waving its arms, saying, ‘Don’t do this,’” she said. “I was, like, ‘I got this. I can have a crush. I can handle it.’”

Kristin Cabot has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, nearly one month after her viral kiss cam moment with former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert. Kristin filed for divorce in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail on Saturday, September 6. […]

As Kristin and Byron enjoyed the show, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin eventually highlighted the pair during his kiss cam segment. Cabot quickly buried her face in her hands, while Byron attempted to dodge the cameras.

“[It felt like] someone flipped a switch,” Kristin recalled to The Times. “I’ll never be able to explain it in any articulate or intelligent way. I was so embarrassed and so horrified. I’m the head of HR and he’s the CEO It’s, like, so cliché and so bad. We both just sat there with our heads in our hands, like, ‘What just happened?’”

Kristin further explained that she and Byron immediately started discussing how to inform the Astronomer board of their outing.

“Listen. We’re human beings. We all make mistakes,” Kristin recalled of the company’s reaction to the drama. “We have to step away and talk about this and figure it out.”

Byron has not publicly addressed the scandal.
