Astronomer executive’s divorce finalized following scandal involving Coldplay kiss cam incident.

Former Chief People Officer of Astronomer Kristin Cabot and her estranged husband, Andrew Cabot, have submitted a request to a New Hampshire court to seal their divorce proceedings. The couple reached this decision in August, aiming to protect their family and children by maintaining privacy as per New Hampshire law. Legal documents reveal that both parties wish to keep the details of their divorce confidential.

Recent reports indicate that the court has granted the request, effectively sealing the divorce case from public access. Andrew Cabot has also expressed a willingness to resolve the matter through mediation, a common approach intended to minimize conflict and expedite the process.

The separation of the Cabots is said to have occurred prior to a high-profile event in July, during which Kristin Cabot was involved in a widely publicized incident at a Coldplay concert. During this event at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Kristin was seen sharing affectionate moments with Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, on a kiss camera. This moment caught the attention of the concert’s lead singer, Chris Martin, who made light of the situation, commenting on their apparent affection and jokingly suggesting they might be in a romantic relationship.

Following the concert, the situation swiftly escalated, leading to Byron’s resignation from his position as CEO of Astronomer just days later. The company confirmed his departure, emphasizing its commitment to a culture of accountability and the expectation for leadership to uphold certain standards. The resignation followed allegations of impropriety related to the incident, prompting scrutiny of both Byron and Cabot.

Kristin Cabot joined Astronomer in late 2024, taking on the role of Chief People Officer. However, she resigned shortly after the controversy emerged, underscoring the significant impact of the public fallout on both her career and personal life.

As the divorce proceedings unfold under the veil of confidentiality, the prevailing focus remains on the implications of the high-profile nature of the couple’s situation, as well as the reputational challenges faced by both Astronomer and its former executives in light of these events. The case continues to develop, with mediation on the horizon as both Kristin and Andrew Cabot seek to navigate their separation with discretion and privacy.
