Megan Kerrigan Byron, Andy Byron’s wife and former Astronomer CEO, has been thrust into global headlines after the viral “kiss cam” moment at a Coldplay concert last week, where she was seen kissing company HR manager Kristin Cabot off her husband. The video, and resulting social media flurry, precipitated a heated public examination of the Byrons’ marriage and Megan’s online use.

In the days after the scandal broke, Megan swiftly distanced herself both personally and digitally. She deleted or deactivated her existing social media accounts, including profiles that once featured family photos with Andy and their children.
She also reverted to her maiden name, Kerrigan, across remaining profiles, stating that this was not an act of loss but a reclaiming of her identity: “I removed Byron not because I lost something… But because I finally found myself again. And I’m not going back”. The statement—which echoed across multiple platforms—stressed resilience, not victimhood.
Sources indicate that Megan has been lying low at the couple’s $2.4 million mansion in Kennebunk, Maine, surrounded by close family, including her sister Maura. While speculation about separation and divorce is rife, there has been no official confirmation from Megan Kerrigan Byron herself regarding her marital future with Andy Byron.

Several alleged statements appeared online, some going viral with expressions of heartbreak and hints at taking her children and leaving Andy, but the authenticity of these messages is unverified and may be linked to impersonator accounts. Megan has since asked the public not to trust appeals from profiles posing as her.
Professionally, Megan is a teacher, currently being the Associate Director of Lower School and overseeing admissions for the Hope Graham program at Bancroft School in Massachusetts. Amid the ongoing controversy online, Megan’s own actions indicate a calculated attempt to recover privacy, dignity, and control in the midst of public disturbance.
