Coldplay kiss cam row: Know all about Megan Kerrigan, wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron
The Coldplay concert in Massachusetts' Boston proved to be costly for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company's HR head Kristin Cabot, and brought their personal lives into the forefront after a viral video showed them intimate during the show through the kiss cam.

The two, who are accused of having a secret affair, were spotted holding each other close as they listened to the British rock band.
As the scene was captured on the kiss cam, Andy and Kristin looked uncomfortable and they soon drifted away to hide their faces.
Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin reacted to the moment saying, "Oh look at these two... either they are having an affair or they're very shy."
The video went viral on social media.

Hours after the video went viral, she dropped her husband's surname from her social media profiles, sparking rumours of marital discord, according to Marca.
