Where is Andy Byron's wife now?
According to the publication, the woman is conducting crisis talks about her marriage while avoiding the public eye.
Megan, 50, has been joined by her family for support, including her older sister Maura. This happened after the video of her husband embracing the company's chief HR manager, Kristin Cabot, at the Coldplay concert in Boston went viral.
The couple was caught on the kiss cam and unsuccessfully tried to hide from the large screen.
"They're either having an affair... or are very shy," joked Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Megan fled their primary home in Massachusetts, worth $1.4 million, and settled in the family estate in Kennebunk.
“You Wanted Privacy. Now You’ve Got a Reputation.” That was the move. Quiet. Sharp. Irreversible. One family friend described Megan Kerrigan Byron’s reaction — after Andy Byron getting caught with both hands in the cookie jar...

Publicly, she hasn't commented on the situation, but she removed her husband's last name from social media and returned to her maiden name, Kerrigan.
Family photos with her husband and children also disappeared from her Facebook.
In light of the cheating scandal, public reactions have been divided: some neighbors support the family, while others are outraged by Byron's behavior.
One resident called his actions "disgusting" and urged the media to leave the family in peace.
Whether Byron has visited his wife since the scandal remains unknown. Meanwhile, Astronomer officially announced his resignation.
"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted," the statement read.
In Byron's place, the company is temporarily led by co-founder Pete DeJoy. Although the reputational blow has been painful, the company assured that it continues to develop its product and support clients.
Just a few days before the scandal, Byron appeared at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate raising $93 million in Series D of financing.
At the time, he called it "a huge opportunity" and spoke about "very exciting" prospects for the firm.
Kristin Cabot, 52, with whom he was caught at the concert, joined Astronomer in the fall of 2024.

In a press release, Byron called her the perfect candidate with exceptional leadership qualities.
It turned out that she is married too—to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum.
Kristin had worked at several companies and was part of the advisory board at Privateer Rum.
Her marriage to Cabot is still intact, at least officially. The couple recently purchased a house in New Hampshire for $2.2 million, having previously sold another property for over $1 million.

Kristin, Andy Byron, and Andrew Cabot have not commented on the situation. According to reports, all three were sent on vacation before Byron's official resignation.
How it all began
The scandalous incident occurred during a Coldplay concert this week at the Gillette Stadium in Boston.
During the performance, the musicians used the traditional kiss cam, and its camera accidentally stopped on a couple who turned out to be Byron and his colleague, the HR director of Astronomer, Kristin Cabot.
On the big screen, viewers saw the CEO embracing his subordinate, with his hands on her waist.
