At a Coldplay concert in Boston last week, it was a moment of shock mortification that took the internet by storm. A camera at the concert swept the audience and picked out a canoodling couple. The couple caught canoodling turned out to be ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, sparking rumours of an affair.

“Oh what,” Chris Martin, Coldplay’s singer, said from the stage. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.” The viral social media chatter reportedly led to Byron's wife allegedly dropping his last name from her social media profiles.
