Kristin Cabot, the HR executive caught canoodling with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert, appears to be married to the CEO of a different company — and bought a house with him less than five months before the scandal hit, The Post has learned.
Property records obtained by The Post show that the 52-year-old Cabot, whose maiden name is Stanek, has shared a Rye, New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot — the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker — since at least 2023.
Privateer Rum’s website lists Andrew Cabot as its CEO and COO of the company. His bio says his “ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution.”
After being listed as co-residents at one address in Rye, Andrew and Kristin Cabot bought the two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style house — located just minutes from the Atlantic coast — in February for $2.2 million, the records showed.
While Kristin and Andrew Cabot share a last name and appear to jointly own the home, The Post could not confirm immediately when or where their apparent marriage took place.
Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020.
A photo purportedly showing Kristin and Andrew Cabot posing with two children has circulated on social media this week.
Andrew Cabot and Privateer Rum did not immediately return The Post’s requests for comment. Efforts to reach Kristin Cabot also were unsuccessful.
Astronomer, a New York-based software firm, confirmed Friday afternoon that it was investigating the concert incident.
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the company said in a statement posted on LinkedIn.
“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly,” the company added.
As The Post previously reported, Kristin Cabot filed for divorce with her ex-husband Kenneth Thornby in 2018 and the split was finalized in 2022, according to Massachusetts court records.
Cabot and Byron went viral for trying to dodge the “kiss cam” at Gillette Stadium, which prompted Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to joke, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
Byron, meanwhile, appeared to be married to Megan Kerrigan Byron. She deleted his last name from her social media accounts before taking them offline entirely following a wave of comments from the public.
“Responsible for the vision and strategy, Andrew works closely with the team he assembled to produce one of the finest rums in in the world,” Privateer’s website says. “One simple question has focused Andrew throughout his career in technology, and time in public education and academia– “how can we do this better?”
Elsewhere, ad copy for the brand — whose high-end bottles can retail for upwards of $100 each — pitches its strict use of authentic ingredients and “Made in the USA” pedigree.
“One thing is certain,” one ad advises. “Privateer advocates transparency, honesty and purity.”
