Kiss cam scandal: Astronomer taps Chris Martin's ex Gwyneth Paltrow for PR
Hollywood actress and lifestyle brand Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow has entered the tech chat — temporarily — to address the fallout from a viral "kiss cam" moment at a Coldplay concert. The incident involved the very public discovery of an extramarital affair between the US-based AI startup Astronomer's former CEO and chief people officer. Chris Martin's ex Gwyneth Paltrow addresses Astronomer kiss cam scandal In a tongue-in-cheek video posted Friday on Astronomer's official X account, the Hollywood actress, who was married to Coldplay's Chris Martin for over a decade before "consciously uncoupling" in 2014, declared she's been hired on a 'very temporary basis' to represent the New York-based AI startup's 300-plus employees. Her mission? Not to talk about the kiss cam scandal that's been lighting up social media for the past week. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer,' Paltrow says at the start of the video. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,' she says. The video opens with someone typing, 'OMG! What the actual F...,' before cutting to Paltrow cheerfully praising the company's AI capabilities, 'Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow'. 'We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,' she adds. In another clip, she interrupts a question beginning with, 'How is your social media team holding…' to instead announce that registration is still open for Astronomer's Beyond Analytics event in September. 'We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers,' she says, smiling. The Coldplay kiss cam incident The message follows a very public scandal involving former CEO Andy Byron and then-Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, who were caught in an awkward embrace on a 'kiss cam' during a July 16 Coldplay concert near Boston. Both executives — who are married to other people — quickly became the subject of online speculation after dodging the camera in a way that even Coldplay frontman Chris Martin couldn't ignore. 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy,' Martin joked from the stage, in a clip that's been shared widely across platforms. The fallout was swift. Byron stepped down on July 19, and Cabot resigned on Thursday. In a July 18 statement, the company said it had launched an internal investigation and added, 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.' Astronomer confirmed Thursday that Cabot was the woman in the video. Neither she nor Byron has publicly commented. Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, and Cabot's husband, Andrew Cabot, have also stayed silent. Astronomer's PR spin gets applause The AI startup's PR stunt seems to be paying off, with users praising the team and laughing along. One user commented,'You hired the Coldplay singer's ex-wife. Extraordinary.' Another wrote, "Your PR team deserves a raise!" The video has amassed nearly 10 million views on X in under 12 hours.

Days After Coldplay Scandal, Astronomer Hires Chris Martin's Ex-Wife Gwyneth Paltrow As "Temporary Spokesperson"
Gwyneth Paltrow, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's ex-wife, has teamed up with AI startup Astronomer to poke fun at the viral kiss cam scandal involving former CEO Andy Byron and ex-HR head Kristin Cabot. In a promotional video, the Hollywood actress and businesswoman tells viewers that she has been hired by the tech startup on a "very temporary basis" to represent more than 300 employees at Astronomer, and to answer some very basic questions. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer," she says in the tongue-in-cheek video posted on the company's X account. The Hollywood actor, known for movies like 'Iron Man', then notes that the company had "gotten a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." However, rather than addressing the controversy, Ms Paltrow sidesteps all the questions and starts to describe what the company does. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 The video opens with someone typing, "OMG! What the actual F", before cutting to Ms Paltrow, who cheerfully declares that the New York-based firm is the "best place to run Apache Airflow". "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation," she says. The clip then shifts to another question about how the firm's social media team is handling the PR mess - only to be cut off mid-sentence. "Yes, there is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September. We will now be returning to what we do best - delivering game-changing results for our customers, she says. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," Ms Patrow says as the video comes to an end. Notably, the witty video comes more than a week after Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot - who have since resigned from their positions - were caught cosying up to one another on a Coldplay "kiss cam" at a concert near Boston. It was their uncomfortable reaction to the "kiss cam" - hiding their faces and avoiding the spotlight - that quickly went viral on social media, triggering various reactions. The frantic manner in which the couple hid made Coldplay's Chris Martin also joke that they were either having an affair or they were very shy. Notably, both Byron and Cabot are married to other people. While Byron's wife is Megan Kerrigan, Cabot is married to Andrew Cabot, owner of the Privateer Rum, and a member of one of Boston's most elite families.
