Watch: Chris Martin’s Ex Gwyneth Paltrow Jokes About Coldplay Scandal as New Astronomer Spokesperson
It was the Coldplay concert that shook the universe—or at the very least the internet.
Last month, now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot tried to hide from the kiss cam after the jumbotron caught them cuddling at the Gillette Stadium show in Foxborough, MA. The awkward moment led singer Chris Martin to joke “either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”
Reader, it certainly doesn’t seem to be just the latter. Both employees, who’ve yet to comment, were fired—and the data and technology company called in Martin’s ex Gwyneth Paltrow to issue a cheeky response as a temporary spokesperson.
“Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,” the GOOP founder said in a July 25 video. “We’ve been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.”
Indeed, the DataOps company is now, according to new interim CEO Pete DeJoy, a household name. As he wrote on LinkedIn, “The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team.”
It wasn’t the only moment that had fans’ eyes wandering this summer.

In her new memoir My Good Side, Scheana Shay revealed her husband Brock Davies cheated on her while she was pregnant in 2020, their now 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon being the reason the Vanderpump Rules star chose to stay.
“I am glad that she gave me a reason to fight,” Scheana told E! News in an exclusive interview, “because although our marriage isn’t perfect, I think Brock is the perfect person for me.”
“I would not be authentic if I did not write about this,” she continued. Not only would she be withholding “something huge and devastating that happened in my life. I’m also skipping a huge thing I was able to overcome, and I felt like there’s something to be said for that.”
While they remain together, we can’t say the same for other celebs who were caught in a cheating scandal. Here’s what happened with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson plus Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver—and many more.
