Alyssa Stoddard may have thought she was in the free and clear, but social media has ways of finding everything.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught in an awkward moment when “kiss cam” landed on them at a Coldplay concert in Boston.

Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, an educator at Bancroft School, where she serves as Associate Director of Lower School and the Hope Graham Program Admissions.

Kristin Cabot is also married. Her husband is said to be one Kenneth C Thornby.

There was also a third woman in that trio who appeared to be looking rather uncomfortable at that moment.

Alyssa Stoddard’s stunned reaction in the Andy Byron–Kristin Cabot Coldplay jumbotron video also went viral.

It turns out that Stoddard knows them as she is the Senior Director of People at Astronomer.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Alyssa joined Astronomer as Sr. Director of People in January 2025. Her previous roles included being a board member at Little Sparks Project, a human resources business partner at Proofpoint, and a people strategy manager at ObserveI.

Just last week, Kristin Cabot reportedly promoted Stoddard to Vice President of People.

As the video of Byron and Cabot made the rounds, so did Alyssa Stoddard’s reaction.

“She’s the recent hire who just got a promotion,” one person said.

“She’s cute with a great smile – supposedly she’s in HR as well and is a direct report of the chick that got busted on the big screen,” a second person added.

“She was the annoying, loud mouth, bad influence, feminist friend pushing for it all to happen, is my guess,” a third person guessed.

“She just can’t wait to tell everyone,” a fourth person said of Alyssa Stoddard.

“When it comes out, this lady is actually best friends with the wife… that may be the bigger drama by far,” one final person commented.

 

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
