Megan Kerrigan Byron, an accomplished educator and mother of two, has suddenly found herself at the center of an internet storm following a viral video involving her husband, Andy Byron, CEO of Cincinnati-based tech firm Astronomer.
Viral Kiss Cam Sparks Speculation
The controversy began at a Coldplay concert at Boston’s Gillette Stadium, where Andy Byron was caught on the venue’s Kiss Cam with Kristin Cabot, the company’s HR head. As frontman Chris Martin drew attention to the pair with the comment, “Oh look at these two,” viewers were quick to question the duo’s relationship—especially since Byron is publicly married.
Megan, who lives in New York with her husband and their two children, works at Bancroft School in Worcester, Massachusetts. She currently serves as Associate Director of the Lower School and Admissions for the Hope Graham Program, which supports students with language-based learning differences.
Social Media Reactions and Support
Although Megan typically maintains a low profile online, the viral video has brought her unexpected attention. Many social media users have flooded her Facebook posts with messages of support, particularly those featuring her children and family moments.
Fueling further speculation, some online sleuths noticed that Megan appears to have removed “Byron” from her name on social platforms. This subtle move has led to questions about the current status of her marriage with Andy.
No Response Yet From Andy Byron
While Andy Byron has not publicly addressed the incident, the internet continues to dissect every frame of the now-infamous concert clip. The scandal has not only raised ethical questions about workplace relationships but also thrust Megan—until now a private individual—into the harsh glare of public attention.
Professionally, Andy Byron has led Astronomer for over two years. His tech career includes leadership roles at Fuze, Cybereason, Lacework, and BMC Software.
Megan’s Focus Remains on Education and Family
For Megan, however, the focus remains on her family and career in education—even as her name trends for reasons far outside her classroom.
