Chris Martin's Ex Gwyneth Paltrow Is Astronomer's ‘Temporary Spokesperson' Amid Coldplay Scandal
The new video, posted by Astronomer via its official X page on Friday, July 25 features Paltrow as the company's 'Temporary Spokesperson.'
Paltrow, who is the ex-wife of Coldplay frontman , introduced her role for the company while speaking to the camera.
'Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300+ employees at Astronomer,' Paltrow, 52, said. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.'

The footage then cuts to the first 'question,' which reads, 'OMG what the actual F?'
Paltrow does not directly answer this question or address the viral scandal, which saw the company's CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot step down after they were captured on a Kiss Cam getting cozy despite both reportedly being married to other people.
Instead, Paltrow responds with information about Astronomer's business.
'Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run a patchy airflow, unifying the experience of running data ML and AI pipelines at scale. We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in date workflow automation,' she said, before moving on to the next 'question.'
The words 'How is your social team holding…' began to be written on screen before abruptly being cut off and switching back to Paltrow.
'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,' Paltrow said, before concluding, 'Thank you for your interest in Astromoner.'
Astronomer executives Cabot and Byron made headlines when they attended Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on July 16.
During the performance, Martin introduced the Kiss Cam and turned it on to the crowd, focusing on Cabot and Byron embracing while watching the show.

As soon as they realized they were being blasted on the big screen, the pair was immediately evasive. Cabot attempted to shield her face while Byron tried to dodge the cameras by ducking down out of shot.
'Whoa, look at these two. All right, come on. You're OK,' Martin, 48, said. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure what to do.'
He added, 'Holy s***.I hope we didn't do something bad.'
In the wake of the scandal, Astronomer confirmed that both Byron and Cabot have tendered their resignations from the company.

Alabama farmer sees new interest within days of Trump's tomato tariff — and says former trade deal ‘never worked' for US
With President Trump's latest tariff announcement, the price of tomatoes could soon be going up in the U.S. On July 14, the Trump Administration announced a 17% tariff on tomatoes imported from Mexico, ending a decades-long trade deal that kept the price of importing tomatoes down in the U.S. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it 'Mexico remains one of our greatest allies, but for far too long our farmers have been crushed by unfair trade practices that undercut pricing on produce like tomatoes,' said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick in the press release. 'That ends today.' And while some Americans may not be in support of additional tariffs levied against America's international trade partners, several U.S. farmers stand in strong support of Trump's latest trade move. 'Been two days now and we've actually had a lot more calls' For decades, U.S. and Mexican tomato operations worked under a trade agreement that allowed for relatively easy importation of Mexican tomatoes into U.S. markets. The deal was meant to protect American tomato farmers, but many believe the old trade agreement didn't do enough. 'There's been loopholes that the Mexican tomato producers have taken advantage of and continue to price dump, or lower the prices below the cost of production here in the United States and in Alabama," Blake Thaxton, executive director of the Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, told WVTM 13 News. Chad Smith of Smith Tomato Farms in St. Clair County, Alabama echoed Thaxton's concerns with the old trade deal with Mexico. 'If they send the tomatoes over and it's supposed to be a set price and they need to move tomatoes, well, they may just give a load of bell peppers for free for them to take the tomatoes. So, it's never really worked,' said Smith. American tomato farmers had long felt as if they were hard-pressed to compete with the imports from Mexico, but several of them now see better times ahead with Trump's latest tariff news. 'It's only been two days now and we've actually had a lot more calls from people who have an interest in doing business," said Smith. 'And the price hasn't even changed.' As for Thaxton, he believes the potential of a sustainable future for U.S. tomato farmers is important. 'Food security is national security, and we need to be able to produce our own food here in the United States,' said Thaxton. Read more: Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can How the new tariff may affect your wallet While some American farmers are hopeful that the tomato tariff will impact their bottom line in a positive way, there's a concern that the changing policy will lead to higher prices at the grocery store. After all, the costs of producing tomatoes are higher in the U.S., thanks in part to American farms paying their workers up to 10 times more per hour than farm workers in Mexico. Thaxton believes the rising tomato costs won't be too dramatic, but other experts appear to be more concerned. In fact, some predict the new tomato tariff could push prices up by 10%. Since American farms face significantly higher production costs than Mexican growers — this includes wages, land, regulation, insurance, property taxes and equipment — these costs may be passed along to American consumers at the grocery store. At this moment, it's tough to predict the exact outcome that the tariff will have on the U.S. tomato market. While it looks like the tariff could help American farmers, it's unclear whether or not it will help American wallets.
