‘She Doesn't Want To Talk...': Andy Byron's Wife 'Hiding' After Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal
Megan Kerrigan, wife of Andy Byron, is at her family's Maine mansion after a kiss-cam exposed ex-Astronomer CEO's affair.
Megan Kerrigan, wife of embattled former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, is lying low at her family's $2.4 million mansion in Maine following the viral Coldplay kiss-cam incident that exposed an affair between Andy Byron and his company's head of HR Kristin Cabot.
The clip, captured during a Coldplay concert in Boston, showed Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot smiling on the big screen before abruptly ducking for cover. The footage was widely shared on social media sparking speculation about their relationship and alleged infidelity.
Megan Kerrigan Changes Name On Facebook
While Megan Kerrigan has not made any public statements, she quietly removed her married surname from her Facebook profile shortly after the footage began circulating. Her Facebook and Instagram accounts were later deactivated while users showed support online.
'She dropped his name and went silent. That said everything," one user posted on X (formerly Twitter), adding, 'What a class act. Go Megan."
According to reports, Megan Kerrigan is currently staying at the four-bedroom, four-bathroom family home with several relatives, including her elder sister Maura. Neighbours told the Daily Mail that many family members were seen arriving at the property over the weekend. One local, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the outlet, 'Everyone has seen it but the family doesn't want to talk about it."
Others in the neighbourhood described Andy Byron's actions as 'disgusting" and expressed sympathy for Megan Kerrigan and her children. Another neighbour told the outlet, 'They deserve privacy."
Andy Byron Resigns
Andy Byron resigned from his role as CEO of software firm Astronomer, reportedly valued at over $1.3 billion, citing a failure to meet company standards. Kristin Cabot has reportedly been placed on leave while the company's new interim CEO acknowledged the scandal had brought 'a level of media attention that few startups ever encounter."
Pete DeJoy said, 'The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies, let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world, ever encounter. The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."

Saiyaara Box Office Day 8: Ahaan Panday Film Crosses Rs 190 Crore, Beats Housefull 5
Last Updated: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara crosses Rs 190 crore in just 8 days, beating Housefull 5 and emerging a massive blockbuster. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have become the talk of the town with their debut film Saiyaara, which is smashing records at the box office. According to the latest update by Sacnilk, the romantic drama has now crossed Rs 190 crore in just 8 days, making it one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. On its second Friday, Saiyaara added Rs 17.50 crore to its tally, pushing the total box office collection to Rs 190 crore. The film had a record-breaking opening with Rs 21.5 crore on day one and saw its highest single-day figure on Sunday at Rs 35.75 crore. Despite being a weekday release, Saiyaara managed to maintain a strong grip at the box office throughout the week, ending its first week at a massive Rs 172.75 crore. The Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer is now outperforming several Bollywood biggies. With its latest collection, Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime business of Sikandar, Sitaare Zameen Par, and Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, which ended its run at Rs 183.3 crore. With no major releases this Friday—Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 has been postponed to August 1—Saiyaara is expected to continue its blockbuster run through its second weekend as well. Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Yash Raj Films' CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara revolves around the love story of Krish Kapoor, an aspiring musician played by Ahaan Panday, and Vaani Batra, portrayed by Aneet Padda. The film explores their romance and heartbreak, especially after a dramatic twist forces Vaani to walk away from Krish. Critics and audiences alike have praised the film's fresh storytelling, the sizzling chemistry between the leads, and its chartbuster music, which has become a viral sensation. With glowing word-of-mouth and no competition in theatres, Saiyaara is well on its way to entering the Rs 200 crore club soon.

Ishaan Khatter Opens Up About Reunion With Janhvi Kapoor: 'We Could Lean Onto Each Other...'
Ishaan Khatter opens up about filming Dhadak with Janhvi Kapoor as they reunite for Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound, which premiered at Cannes 2025. Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor, who made their Bollywood debut together in Dhadak back in 2018, have reunited after seven years for their upcoming film Homebound. The Neeraj Ghaywan directorial had its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025 in May and is also set to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Dhadak, directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, was a Hindi adaptation of Nagraj Manjule's acclaimed Marathi film Sairat. The film explored issues of casteism and honour killing and went on to perform well at the box office. The much-anticipated spiritual sequel Dhadak 2, starring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, is slated for release on August 1. Now, ahead of Homebound, Ishaan opened up about his experience of working with Janhvi on Dhadak. In an interview with Zoom, the actor reflected on one of the film's most emotional scenes and shared, 'On Dhadak's set, Janhvi and I could lean onto each other." He further explained, 'My character is going through a lot of conflict. He is trying to be a man for her but he is not able to. He is dealing with his own issues. He has been uprooted from his family. You can see the cracks in him, his vulnerability. He is trying to be supportive, but inevitably he's dealing with his own demons." In Homebound, Ishaan stars alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa. The story follows two childhood friends—Shoaib Ali (played by Ishaan) and Chandan Kumar (played by Vishal)—who hail from a North Indian village and are determined to break free from the burden of their marginalised identities. However, a series of events leads to internal and external conflicts that test their bond. While the film has already garnered international attention at Cannes, its theatrical release date is still under wraps. Homebound marks a significant reunion for Ishaan and Janhvi, and fans are excited to see the duo together on screen once again.
