A married tech executive has deleted his LinkedIn page after he was spotted getting cosy with a woman who is not his wife at a Coldplay concert in Boston.
Media reports and netizens have identified the man as software firm Astronomer’s chief executive Andy Byron, and the woman as Kristin Cabot, the company’s human resources head.
But the company, Byron and Cabot have yet to issue a statement on the incident.
A video circulating widely online shows a couple highlighted on a big screen during the concert at the Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium on July 16, with the man standing behind the woman and his arms wrapped around her waist.
When they realise they are on the screen, the man immediately ducks out of view, while the woman turns her back to the camera.
“Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said.

The incident soon went viral on social media, with many concertgoers uploading the interaction on TikTok and Instagram.
One such video on TikTok garnered over 40 million views and more than 30,000 comments in less than 24 hours.
Local media reports said that Byron has two sons with his wife Megan Kerrigan Byron.
Byron’s LinkedIn profile has since been taken down.
One netizen said: “If I was his wife, I think my heart would explode immediately... I feel so sorry for his wife and his kids.”
Another user said: “I wish all affairs could be exposed this quickly, maybe not this publicly, but their families deserve the truth.”
A user said on X: “Wish me luck at the Coldplay concert on Saturday, should be a MASSIVE affair!”
Many remarked that if the couple had played it cool, the incident would not gone viral.
