Kristin Cabot Shares Her Truth With Oprah
In an interview with ‘The Oprah Podcast,’ Cabot revealed that she ended all communication with then-CEO Andy Byron months after the viral July 2025 incident, citing a “big miss on honesty and integrity.” The stadium clip showed the pair in an embrace before ducking away from the Jumbotron, with Chris Martin joking they may be “having an affair,” and social media immediately exploded. Both resigned from Astronomer shortly after, and Cabot shared that she had been separated from her husband at the time, marking the first romantic turn in her relationship with Byron.
She described a torrent of online harassment, doxxing, and death threats that followed, making it difficult to find work while raising her children. Cabot also called out Byron’s silence, saying the situation might have played out very differently had he addressed it publicly as her former husband did. She also emphasized the stark differences in how men and women are treated when private moments go viral.
You Already Know Folks Have Questions
Fans ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section and absolutely went IN, dragging every detail of the viral kiss. Some were over it, saying we’ve moved on and don’t care anymore, while others insisted they wanted to hear from the wife, not Kristin. And, of course, plenty of commenters had a ton of questions about the nature of her relationship with Andy Byron, turning the thread into a full-on discussion.
One Instagram user, @kiraandre, said, “The way they reacted didn’t give ‘separated from their partners.'”
This Instagram user @themeganbaca shared, “Move Oprah, I got this: 🗣️Then why did you cover your face and Andy dive to hide behind glass? 🎤”
And, Instagram user @_suckafreesi added, “Love seeing the 50+ community being sexy and scandalous lol.“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @thee_brad98 claimed, “Here’s a tissue for your issues boo. We moved on 📄“
While Instagram user @fluffydamfngoat said, “Respectfully we wanna hear the wife…“
Finally, Instagram user @purplepimpinwillie commented, “I didn’t know Oprah still had a show🤦🏽♂️😂”
Roommates, That Name Sounds Familiar, Right?
Who even is Kristin Cabot? The drama kicked off at a Coldplay concert last summer when a cozy moment between him and Andy Byron went sideways, and both executives ended up on the stadium JumboTron visibly panicking. Chris Martin joked they were either “just shy” or “having an affair,” but while the crowd laughed, Astronomer was definitely not here for it—they immediately launched a full investigation into the incident.
And the fallout didn’t stop there. On the heels of the viral video, Andy Byron officially resigned as CEO of Astronomer, with the Board confirming that cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement.
