Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: Who Is Megan Kerrigan – And Why Her Divorce From Andy Byron Could Cost Him Millions

The internet is in overdrive after a viral Coldplay “Kiss Cam” moment at the band’s Foxborough concert exposed what many believe is a full-blown cheating scandal — and it could have massive legal and financial consequences. Caught on the jumbotron, CEO Andy Byron was seen embracing a woman who wasn’t his wife. The woman, later identified as Kristin Cabot, appeared visibly uncomfortable as the stadium erupted in anticipation of a kiss. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even joked that the couple was “either having an affair or are very shy.”

But there was nothing funny about what followed.

Just hours after the clip went viral, social media sleuths discovered that Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, had removed “Byron” from her Facebook name. The move fueled growing rumors that a high-stakes divorce might be on the horizon — one that could cost Byron tens of millions of dollars.

Who is Megan Kerrigan?

Megan Kerrigan is the wife of Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, an AI-powered data and analytics company valued at over $1 billion. Megan, a mother of two, has mostly remained out of the spotlight — until now.

Though she hasn’t made a public statement, online behavior suggests all is not well behind the scenes. Her swift removal of her married name from social media is being interpreted as a quiet yet powerful statement of disapproval — and possibly, preparation for divorce proceedings.

What Could a Divorce Mean for Andy Byron?

Should Megan Kerrigan move forward with legal action, the consequences for Andy Byron could be substantial. Legal analysts say that if this leads to divorce, the financial fallout could rival some of the most expensive splits in recent memory.

• Net Worth of Andy Byron: Estimated at $60 million

• Estimated Divorce Settlement: Up to $30 million or more

Other high-profile tech divorces offer context:

• Jeff Bezos gave $38 billion to MacKenzie Scott.

• Bill Gates’ split from Melinda saw a $76 billion shift in assets.

• Alec and Jocelyn Wildenstein’s divorce reached billions.

While Byron’s net worth is not in the billions, the potential 50% payout could still be devastating.

Astronomer’s Corporate Response

Adding to the firestorm, Kristin Cabot, the woman seen with Byron on camera, is reportedly Astronomer’s Head of HR. This has led to internal investigations within the company. On Friday, Astronomer’s Board of Directors issued a brief statement confirming an internal review is underway.

Sources at Axios revealed that Byron’s resignation is being discussed, though no official exit has been confirmed.

What’s Next?

Byron’s reputation is taking a hit, both personally and professionally. With his company in damage control mode and media outlets dissecting every angle of the incident, many are waiting to see if Megan Kerrigan will officially file for divorce — and whether Andy Byron will remain at the helm of Astronomer.

For now, the Coldplay Kiss Cam clip stands as a viral symbol of modern scandal — one that might cost more than just public embarrassment.
