"I sincerely apologise to my wife": Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's alleged statement goes viral after his scandalous moment with HR caught at Coldplay concert

What started as a regular Coldplay concert quickly turned into the internet’s latest gossip wildfire after a supposed cheating scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Krisin Cabot was caught on the venue’s kiss-cam. The video, which shows the two enjoying the concert in each other’s arms before awkwardly reacting to being caught on camera, spread fast — and so did the outrage.

According to reports, both Byron and Cabot are married to other people. Their public display of affection triggered online fury, especially after a seemingly heartfelt apology began circulating on social media, allegedly from Byron himself.

The viral “statement” read like a public confession. It opened with Byron apologizing to his wife, family, and colleagues, stating, “You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.” The note continued with sentiments of regret, accountability, and a plea for privacy. He even took a swipe at the media spectacle, saying what should’ve been a private mistake turned into a public circus. The kicker? A closing line borrowed from Coldplay’s lyrics: “Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.”

On the surface, it was the kind of damage-control message you’d expect from a cornered CEO. It was making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), news aggregators, and entertainment gossip sites within hours. The tone was apologetic, introspective, and PR-polished. It felt real.
