The wife of former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is reportedly holed up in a A$3.6 million mansion since her husband was caught on camera at a Coldplay concert cozying up with his HR chief.
Megan Byron, 50, has fled her and her husband’s multimillion-dollar home in Northborough, Massachusetts, for a ritzy residence in Kennebunk, some 160 kilometres away in Maine, according to the Daily Mail.
She has been hiding out at the four-bedroom, 387sqm home, where family members and friends have been spotted visiting all week, the outlet said.
The whole town “has seen (the video) but the family do not want to talk about it,” one Kennebunk local said.
Megan has yet to comment publicly about her husband’s deer-in-the-headlights moment, but has since removed his name from her social media profiles, reverting to her maiden name, Kerrigan.
Photos from her account show the happy Byron couple with arms around each other beaming while out hiking and at a high school graduation, flanked by two teens who appear to be their grown sons.
Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, the head of Astronomer’s HR, were caught canoodling on the kiss cam at Coldplay’s concert at Foxborough Stadium near Boston last Wednesday, July 16.
Panicked under the spotlight, Cabot quickly covered her face and Byron ducked out of view.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin quickly quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
Andy was swiftly forced to resign over the scandal, and Cabot – who is married to another CEO, Andrew Cabot, chief executive of Privateer Rum – has been placed on leave.
