The former head of an artificial intelligence company who was caught cuddling with his company’s head of human resources at a Coldplay concert owns a home in Kennebunk, according to town tax records.

Andy Byron, who was then the CEO of Astronomer, appeared only briefly on jumbotron during a “kiss cam” segment of the July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. But he had his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company’s HR chief, and their reactions raised suspicions.

Cabot covered her face and Byron ducked out of sight, prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to wonder if they were having an affair or just shy. Internet sleuths identified the two, both of whom are married, and clips and stills of the awkward moment went viral.

Both Byron and Cabot subsequently resigned from Astronomer. The New York City-based company makes products to automate business workflows.

Byron’s home in Kennebunk, which he owns with his wife, has an estimated value of $2.4 million, according to Zillow.
