GWYNETH Paltrow was yesterday hired by crisis-hit firm Astronomer following the fall-out from the “affair saga” at her ex’s Chris Martin’s Coldplay gig.

The A-lister actress turned influencer took questions on the scandal in a PR move described by fans as “genius”.

Astronomer’s chief executive Andy Byron was caught canoodling with his head of human resources Kristin Cabot at a gig – causing a social media frenzy because of their embarrassed response to appearing on the big screen.

Chris Martin – Paltrow’s ex-husband and father to her two children – called the couple out at the time for “having an affair” because of their fraught reaction.

Humiliated Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal. 

Now, Paltrow has made a cameo on Astronomer’s LinkedIn page, starring as a “temporary spokesperson”.

The Shakespeare In Love star, wearing a blue shirt with corporate music playing in the background, said: “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.

“Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow.

“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer.

“Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.”

An on-screen question starting “what the actual f***” was abruptly cut off just as Paltrow reappeared on screen.

She said: “Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.”

She then quipped: “We’ve been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation.”

Another question began, “How is your social media team holding…” before The Talented Mr. Ripley star, with a twinkle in her eye, went on: “Yes! There is still space available at our Beyond Analytics event this September!”

The celeb’s on-screen cameo went down a storm with fans.

Kristin Cabot was seen for the first time since the kiss cam scandal that led to her resignation last Thursday.

The software company confirmed the married 52-year-old stepped down from her role, just over a week after she was caught with the company’s boss at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.

The status of her marriage remains unknown.

Her husband, Andrew Cabot, 60, an heir to the £11billion Cabot family fortune, nowhere to be seen at their home.

Byron had been CEO of Astronomer – valued at over $1.3billion – since July 2023.

The company said in a statement: “As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.

“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.”
