In July 2025, a kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert changed the public image of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron in a matter of seconds. What was supposed to be a fun interlude at Gillette Stadium spiraled into a scandal after Byron was caught on the stadium’s big screen in a close, somewhat awkward embrace with Kristin Cabot, his company’s Chief People Officer. The video quickly made the rounds online.
But the attention didn’t stop with Andy. The person suddenly under the spotlight was his wife, Megan Kerrigan.
Who is Megan Kerrigan, really?
Megan Kerrigan is not a public figure. She’s never been one to chase headlines. But this incident pushed her into them anyway.
Megan is 50 years old and works as an Associate Director of Lower School and Hope Graham Program Admissions at Bancroft School in Massachusetts. She’s an educator, not someone used to viral internet drama. But people started noticing changes in her digital presence almost immediately after the Coldplay incident went viral.
The most talked-about move? She dropped “Byron” from her name on Facebook.
That alone sparked a lot of chatter online. Screenshots started to circulate, and speculations kicked off. Was this her silent way of signaling something was wrong? She didn’t say anything publicly, but her actions seemed to speak volumes. It didn’t help that soon after, she completely deleted her Facebook profile. Her Instagram was gone too.
So while she never addressed the situation directly, Megan’s quiet retreat from social media had everyone reading between the lines.
Do Andy and Megan have kids?
Yes, the couple has two children together. Their names and ages haven’t been shared with the public, and that seems intentional. The family has always stayed low-profile.
There are no posts, no public comments, and no interviews involving the kids, which is probably a choice made to protect them. Despite the growing online storm, the children have remained entirely out of the public narrative.
Whether or not the kids are aware of what’s been happening, or how much it’s affecting their daily lives, is unknown. But if anything, Megan’s quiet moves online may be a way to shield them too.
How did the Coldplay kiss cam moment even happen?
During the July 2025 Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium, the camera zoomed in on Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot during the “kiss cam” break. What unfolded was a little too intimate for some viewers.
They leaned into a hug. Then they noticed the camera. Kristin covered her face. Andy looked uncomfortable and ducked out of the shot. And boom—screenshots were already being shared online.
People had questions. Why was Andy acting that familiar with someone who worked directly under him? Was there something going on between him and Kristin Cabot? And more importantly, what about his wife?
Online reactions exploded. The moment triggered both jokes and serious conversations about workplace relationships and leadership ethics. It wasn’t just a “funny moment caught on camera” anymore. It became a corporate and personal mess.
What was Andy Byron’s response?
After the backlash grew, Byron issued an apology. But the apology was shared inside the company first. Eventually, someone leaked it, and it landed in the media.
The response didn’t go over well. Critics said it lacked clarity. Others thought it felt forced. What was missing for many was an acknowledgment of how this could affect his family, especially Megan.
He didn’t speak publicly about Megan, their marriage, or the fact that she had suddenly scrubbed her online presence. And that silence added more fuel to the speculation.
What has been the internet’s reaction to Megan?
Social media users jumped in fast. Many people took Megan’s side, even though she hadn’t said a word.
A tweet from a user calling herself “Mrs. SpaceX” gained thousands of likes. She wrote, “Andy Byron’s wife has now dropped her married name on Facebook and left comments open. What a class act! Go Megan. Get that divorce lawyer and get the money.”
That tweet summed up the general public mood. Megan’s quiet moves were being interpreted as strength and class. People admired the way she handled it without drama.
And just like that, she went from a private figure to a symbol of quiet dignity.
Are Andy and Megan still together?
There’s no official answer.
But the signs don’t look great. Removing his name from social media. Deleting her Facebook and Instagram. Those aren’t random choices.
Still, there hasn’t been any divorce announcement or legal filing mentioned in the news so far. No comments from Andy. No official word from Megan either.
Right now, all anyone knows is what’s been seen online—and what’s been removed.
And for many, that says enough.
