Astronomer is investigating CEO Andy Byron, who appeared to embrace the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, on the "kiss cam" at a Coldplay concert.

Martin was working the crowd using the “kiss cam” when the camera zoomed in on the couple cuddled up in the stands at the Gillette Stadium on Wednesday night. “Ooh look at these two!” Martin said, as the couple appeared on screen.

The Phillie Phanatic — and the Phillies organization — had fun Friday night at the expense of the man and woman who were awkwardly caught at the Coldplay concert frantically trying to avoid being seen on the “kiss cam” in videos that became a viral sensation.

The mascots recreated the cringeworthy reactions immortalized in the viral video where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, were spotlighted on the concert’s kiss cam at a Coldplay show on July 16.

When the Kiss Cam at Coldplay’s recent concert in Boston zoomed in on tech CEO Andy Byron and his company’s HR chief, Kristin Cabot, the internet lost it. The crowd gasped, Chris Martin quipped about a possible affair, and within minutes the footage went viral.

Either they’re having an affair or he’s very shy,” Coldplay’s Chris Martin said after the kiss cam caught the couple.
