CEO from Coldplay ‘kiss-cam’ video sells New York apartment

Andy Byron, the married tech boss who was spotted with an employee on a Coldplay kiss-cam, has quietly sold his Manhattan apartment. 

The former Astronomer executive was caught on camera on July 16 this year with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company’s chief people officer, at the British group’s Boston gig. 

When the pair realised they were being projected onto the arena’s jumbotron, they pulled apart, with Byron ducking for cover. 

A video of the awkward moment was uploaded to TikTok, where it quickly went viral.

Byron resigned from his position as Astronomer CEO on July 19. Cabot also resigned from her role. 

Now, four months on from the kiss-cam saga, Byron and his wife, Megan, have sold their Tribeca pad, business news outlet Crain’s reports. 

The property sold earlier this week for $US5.8 million ($8.9 million). 

It’s slightly higher than the $US5.43 million ($8.37 million) the pair spent on the unit in 2022. 

The offmarket deal was not publicly advertised on popular real estate media outlets.

The fourth-floor pad on Washington Street is a luxury warehouse conversion in Tribeca. 

There are four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in the 258-square-metre unit. 

White-painted brick, soaring ceilings and generous windows are features of the interior. 

The kitchen is kitted out with Italian oak cabinetry and Calacatta marble, while the north side boasts views of the Hudson River. 

The Byrons’ current address is in Massachusetts, as per public records.
