Know More About Andy Byron and His Wife

Andy Byron has been the CEO of Astronomer since July 2023. At the same time, the lady with him is Kristin Cabot, the Chief Human Resource Officer at his firm. 

This leads to widespread allegations of extramarital affairs as Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron with two children. The couple lives in New York, USA, with their two sons. Megan is the Associate Director of Lower School and also a part of the Hope Graham Program Admission at Bancroft School.

Whereas Kristin, the alleged girlfriend of Byron, had 20 years of experience in Human Resources hiring before taking the responsibility of Byron’s firm. Their intimate hug at the concert is clear evidence of their illegal romantic relationship. 

Social Media Erupts With Cheating Claims

This spread widespread speculations with netizens openly shaming them for infidelity. They take it as an easy step for success, to please the boss, by saying "When you try your best but you don't succeed". 

People are clearly witnessing that both of them were aware of their faultplay. They say, "I think the worst part is how they immediately flinch in shame. If there was no reaction, people probably wouldn't have looked into it at all. It clearly didn't help anyway, but it just shows they know it's wrong. They can't even own it."  

This incident shows that no matter how much you try to hide infidelity, it often comes out surprisingly. It is always better to be honest with your feelings and with your married partner. If the marriage is not working, let them know and end it respectfully before pursuing a relationship with someone else.
