Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's 'affair' with HR head caught on kiss cam at Coldplay concert, Chris Martin reacts

The Coldplay concert in Boston, Massachusetts proved to be costly for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company's HR head Kristin Cabot, whose moment of embracing each other at the event went viral through the kiss cam.
The two, who are accused of having a secret affair, were spotted holding each other close as they listened to the British rock band.
As the scene was captured on the kiss cam, Andy and Kristin looked uncomfortable and they soon drifted away to hide their faces.
Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin reacted to the moment saying, "Oh look at these two... either they are having an affair or they're very shy."
The video went viral on social media.
