CHIEF exec Andy Byron’s wife is said to be keeping a low profile at her family’s $2.4million mansion after the Coldplay kiss cam scandal.
Megan Kerrigan has so far kept quiet after her husband Byron – with whom she is believed to have two kids – was seen canoodling with his HR supremo.
But she seemingly confirmed the cheating allegations against her husband by removing his surname from her Facebook profile name.
She is now said to be lying low with her family members including her elder sister Maura, at her family’s grand mansion in Maine.
It is understood that many family members visited the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property over the weekend.
But it is unclear if Mr Byron came to speak to his wife following after the Coldplay gig.
Neighbours living in the locality have slammed Byron’s actions as “disgusting” and have told Daily Mail that Megan and her family “deserve privacy”.
One angry local told the news outlet: “Everyone has seen it, but the family do not want to talk about it.”
Mr Byron and his alleged mistress Kristin Cabot were caught off guard when their grinning faces flashed up on a big screen at Coldplay’s Boston concert last week.
The panicked pair – who both have families of their own – were seen rushing for cover after being left red-faced in the packed stadium.
Their reaction to being filmed has caught the world’s attention – with millions now talking about the alleged affair.
The spectacle comes just months after Ms Cabot took out a $1.6million mortgage on a house she purchased with her husband Andrew – a sixth-generation heir to the Privateer Rum fortune.
Within hours of the footage going viral, supporters flooded her Facebook, cheering her for quietly removing “Byron” from her name before deleting her account altogether.
Her Instagram also disappeared.
One X user said: “Andy Byron‘s wife has now dropped her married name on Facebook and left comments open on her Facebook!
Another person wrote: “What a class act! Go Megan. Get that divorce lawyer and get the money.”
Mr Byron and Ms Cabot’s reaction appeared to show guilt and has since gone viral online with speculation the HR chief is the tech boss’ “mistress”.
A chorus of laughter echoed around the jam-packed stadium when Viva la Vida singer Chis Martin – without knowing who they were – quipped: “Oh what… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
They have disappeared off the radar after their cosy embrace went viral, sparking a riot of memes online.
Though Mr Byron resigned from his role after “failing to meet company standards”.
Ms Cabot has reportedly been placed on leave, while her boss has been replaced.
Pete DeJoy stepped into the role and said the viral incident has received “a level of media attention that few companies – let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world – ever encounter.”
He wrote on LinkedIn, “The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.”
Meanwhile, just months before the scandal, The Cabots purchased a $2.2 million home on the New Hampshire coast in March and did not buy it in cash.
Documents obtained by The U.S. Sun show the couple took out a mammoth loan on the house with Morgan Stanley, and both of their names are on paperwork for the mortgage.
The residence is located just two miles from the beach and was sold “as is” as the home “needs rehab.”
It sits on 1.42 acres, with fruit trees, berry bushes, and pastoral views.
They are yet to be seen in public since the clip went viral, and it is not known whether or not they have split.
A mortgage could make any divorce messy, as both parties will be responsible for payments, regardless of who lives in the house.
According to Mr Byron’s LinkedIn, he has been CEO of software development company Astronomer – understood to be worth more than $1.3 billion (£1 billion) – since July 2023.
He called Ms Cabot a “proven leader” when she joined the company in November last year as the head of HR.
The CEO gushed: “Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory.”
Ms Calbot released a similarly enthusiastic comment, saying she thought the “real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy.”
On her LinkedIn, she boasts: “I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants.”
One social media user commented: “Sorry for the wife but glad they’re being exposed and embarrassed.”
The US Sun has approached Astronomer for comment.
