Kristin Cabot, currently the Chief People Officer at Astronomer, was once married to Kenneth C Thornby, a detail spotlighted amid recent speculation of a romantic link to her workplace relationship with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron! Kristin Cabot's marital status - whether she is married, unmarried, single or divorced- is a question on everyone's mind. But why? An unexpected Kiss Cam moment at a Coldplay concert in Boston has thrust Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s HR Chief, and the company’s CEO, Andy Byron, into an intense viral spotlight. Captured on the jumbotron, the two were seen sharing an intimate moment, which quickly sparked rumours and allegations of an affair, given that both are married. Kristin Cabot, who has been in her role for about nine months, was visibly embarrassed as she covered her face while Byron hastily distanced himself from her, revealing a moment many interpreted as more than just friendly. How Many Kids Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Have?

As the scandal unfolded online, attention also turned to Cabot’s ex-husband, Kenneth C. Thornby, whose identity social media users quickly unearthed. Thornby, reportedly Kristin’s spouse, faces widespread public sympathy and speculation amid the viral incident, with some comments hoping he secures legal counsel given the apparent marital breach. However, it appears Kristin Cabot and Kenneth C Thornby are not really a couple, and in fact, have not been a couple at the time of this viral "affair scandal"!

According to the New York Post, Kristin Cabot and her ex-husband, Kenneth Thornby, filed for divorce in 2018, and the split was finalised in 2022, according to Massachusetts court records. The ex-couple has at least one child, and Thornby was made to pay child support. It remains unclear if Kristin Cabot has since remarried. Kenneth C. Thornby’s background remains largely private compared to the high-profile figures involved.
