Astronomer HR executive, Kristin Cabot, recently became the subject of a Coldplay concert controversy after being spotted embracing the company’s CEO Andy Byron. The pair, perceived to be married to their respective partners, has since infamously climbed the ranks of viral fame on social media, while the world continues digging deeper into their professional and personal past lives.

Amid speculations of an alleged extra-marital affair, Cabot has been linked to two men she appears to have been married at one point. A man named Kenneth Thornby initially surfaced in headlines suggesting that he was married to Cabot until they filed for separation in 2018. Their divorce is said to have finalised in 2022, as per a New York Post report citing Massachusetts court records. Additionally, they reportedly share a child.

A more recent report, however, has brought up another man named Andrew Cabot, who appears to be the Astronomer HR chief’s alleged second husband. But, who is he?

Who is Andrew Cabot? Kristin Cabot’s alleged husband makes headlines

While Thornby and Cabot reportedly went their separate ways years ago, the Astronomer HR Head appears to have been married to the CEO of a company called Privateer Rum. The Post has further shed light on property records indicating that Kristin has shared a Rye, New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot.

The Astronomer exec, whose maiden name in Stanek, appears to have bought the two-story, four-bedroom house located just minutes away from the Atlantic coast in February for $2.2 million — just months before she got entangled in the ‘ColdplayGate’ controversy. Listed as “husband and wife” in the records, the pair even sold a different four-bedroom property – which they snapped up in April 2024 – for $1.05 million in February.

It remains unclear when the pair sharing a last name got hitched. Nonetheless, Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account establishes that she was an “advisory board member” at Andrew Cabot’s company since September 2020. Circulating reports have also noticed the HR chief wasn’t wearing her ring at the Coldplay concert.
