Astronomer announced a formal board investigation after video from a July 16, 2025, Coldplay concert showed CEO Andy Byron and chief people officer Kristin Cabot on the venue screen. Byron was placed on leave and later resigned. The available reporting does not establish the alleged private relationship or publish detailed findings from the investigation.

What happened at the Coldplay concert?

On July 16, 2025, footage recorded during Coldplay’s Jumbotron Song segment at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, showed Byron and Cabot together on the venue screen, according to the Associated Press. Contemporaneous reporting identified them as Astronomer’s CEO and chief people officer, respectively.

The footage prompted online speculation about the executives’ private relationship. That speculation is not proof of an affair, and the reporting cited here does not establish what their relationship was.

What did Astronomer investigate, and when?

The Guardian also reported that Astronomer said claims Byron had issued a statement were incorrect.

What was the outcome for Astronomer’s leadership?

Byron resigned after being placed on leave, and Astronomer’s board accepted his resignation. In the statement reported by the Associated Press on July 19, the company said: “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”

CBS News reported that co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy served as interim CEO. The reporting establishes these leadership changes; it does not say that the board substantiated the affair allegation.

Did Astronomer publish the investigation’s findings?

The cited reporting does not provide a detailed final investigation report or findings explaining the board’s conclusions. The outcome of the investigation beyond the publicly reported leave and resignation therefore remains undisclosed in these sources. It would be inaccurate to present the alleged affair as a confirmed investigative finding.
