A Coldplay concert in Boston has become the unexpected setting for a viral internet mystery — one involving tech CEO Andy Byron, a surprise camera moment, and a quickly debunked statement.

A Sweet Concert Moment Turned Viral Drama
During the performance, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin interacted with the crowd through a live camera feed. At one point, the screen zoomed in on a man embracing a woman as they swayed together. What appeared to be an intimate moment quickly took a sharp turn when the couple noticed they were being broadcast, abruptly pulling apart in visible discomfort.
Martin playfully quipped, “Oh look at these two. Either they are having an affair, or they’re just really shy.”
Internet Sleuths Claim to Identify the Pair
Social media users wasted no time speculating that the man was Andy Byron, CEO of data platform Astronomer, and the woman was Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. The rumor gained traction partly due to Byron’s reported marital status and the nature of the embrace.
Fake Statement Goes Viral—Then Gets Shut Down
Soon after the clip went viral, a statement allegedly from Byron began circulating online. In it, the speaker addressed the video and pleaded for privacy. However, Astronomer quickly issued a firm denial, stating the statement was fake and that Byron had made no public comment.
The dubious source of the viral post—an account with the alias “”P.Enis”—raised eyebrows, yet some media outlets mistakenly reported it as legitimate.
Conclusion
While the identities of the couple in the clip remain unconfirmed, the incident shows how fast a public moment can spiral online. The astronomer’s response makes one thing clear: not everything shared on the internet is to be trusted, no matter how viral it becomes.
