Disgraced former CEO Andy Byron has been spotted reuniting with his wife, Megan, for a quiet beach stroll in Maine, months after a viral Kiss Cam scandal derailed his career and marriage.

The scandal that once lit up stadium screens and social media feeds took an unexpected turn over the weekend when former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was seen strolling hand-in-hand with his wife,

Megan Kerrigan Byron, along the scenic shores of Kennebunk, Maine — the same woman whose world was shattered just two months ago after his infamous kiss cam debacle went viral.

Dressed casually in sweats and sneakers, the couple appeared calm and connected, their wedding bands glinting in the late-summer sun as they enjoyed a quiet beachside picnic.

For the first time since the Coldplay concert that changed everything, the pair looked like two people trying to rebuild, not just recover.

Witnesses described the atmosphere as unexpectedly tender. “They weren’t hiding,” one onlooker noted. “It looked like they were trying to move forward, maybe one step at a time.”

For many, the images mark a surprising chapter in a story that began with a few seconds of stadium footage and ended with the fall of a powerful CEO.

On July 16, Andy Byron, then 51, attended a Coldplay “Music of the Spheres World Tour” show at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts with his HR chief, Kristin Cabot.

During one of the band’s light-hearted kiss cam moments, the jumbotron captured Byron and Cabot cozied up in the crowd. What should have been a quick crowd-pleaser turned into a public relations disaster.

The pair, visibly startled, awkwardly ducked out of frame — a moment that drew a mix of laughter, shock, and immediate speculation. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, noticing the commotion, playfully remarked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Within hours, the footage exploded online. Social media dubbed it the “Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal,” and amateur detectives quickly uncovered that both Byron and Cabot were married — but not to each other.

The fallout was swift. By the next morning, Byron had resigned from Astronomer, the AI-driven New York-based firm he helped build. Cabot followed less than a week later, filing for divorce from her husband in August.

For Megan, 50, the betrayal was devastating. Friends described her as blindsided by the viral moment that suddenly turned her private life into national gossip.

In the weeks following, she reportedly left their Massachusetts home and retreated to a $2.4 million seaside mansion in Kennebunk — the same property where she was spotted this weekend.

“She needed time and space,” one close acquaintance said. “Everything happened so fast, and everyone seemed to have an opinion before she could even process what was real.”

Publicly, Megan has remained silent, though subtle signs of heartache were visible in her digital footprint. Soon after the scandal broke, she quietly reverted her name on social media back to “Kerrigan,” a symbolic step many saw as a distancing gesture.

Byron, meanwhile, has kept a low profile since his resignation. Sources close to him describe a man grappling with regret. “I hurt the person I love the most,” he reportedly told a friend. “I wish I could take it all back, but now all I can do is prove I mean it when I say I’m sorry.”

The weekend outing may suggest a glimmer of reconciliation.

While no formal divorce filings have been recorded in their hometown, their appearance together — wedding bands intact — paints a picture of a couple attempting to navigate the messy terrain between forgiveness and finality.

Onlookers observed them sharing a picnic blanket near the shoreline, talking quietly as the sun dipped below the horizon. “They looked like they were remembering what brought them together,” said another beachgoer. “It wasn’t flashy. It was raw.”

For a man who once commanded boardrooms and led high-stakes deals, Byron’s new reality is humbler — long walks, small gestures, and the long road of regaining trust.

“I broke her heart in front of the world,” he has said to those close to him. “Now I have to prove I deserve another chance, not with words, but with time.”

While Cabot moves on with her own life — her divorce proceedings quietly advancing — Byron and Megan’s future remains uncertain.

Some believe the couple’s shared history, including raising two sons together, could be their anchor. Others see the wounds as too deep to mend. But for now, what’s clear is that the two are at least walking the same path again, however fragile.

As the tide rolled in and the sky blushed over Maine’s coast, Byron and Megan packed up their picnic and strolled back toward the mansion.

The world that once watched their pain from behind screens might now be witnessing something more fragile — not a scandal, but a second chance.

Whether it’s reconciliation or closure, only time will tell. But one thing is certain: even after the lights fade and the headlines cool, love — in all its imperfection — still writes the final act.
