ndy Byron, the former Astronomer CEO and ex‑astronomer, became a viral sensation in July when a Coldplay concert’s “kiss cam” captured him and HR director Kristin Cabot sharing a kiss. The clip spread rapidly, prompting Byron to step down from his post the same week, with Cabot following suit the next.
Shortly thereafter, Byron sold his Tribeca condominium—a full‑floor unit in a Flatiron‑area building—for $5.8 million, according to Crain’s. The transaction, recorded in the city’s Department of Finance on Tuesday, was not listed publicly and closed swiftly. The deed indicates Byron remains married to Megan, with their Massachusetts address listed as the couple’s residence.
The property, acquired in 2022 for $5.4 million from the developer, features four bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, an open kitchen, wine fridge, exposed‑brick living room, and a master suite with walk‑in closet. The buyers, both corporate lawyers, finalized the deal in early November after signing in mid‑September.
Byron’s brief tenure at Astronomer, headquartered in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, ended amid the viral incident. The sale of the Tribeca condo, a high‑profile Manhattan home, marked a swift exit from the city’s real‑estate scene.
