EXCLUSIVE: DNA Leak Confirms Kristin Cabot’s Youngest Child Is NOT Andrew Cabot’s, but Neither Is It Andy Byron’s — Raising Questions of a Possible Fifth Party

A bombshell revelation has rocked the ongoing scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, thrusting their personal lives further into the spotlight. On July 19, 2025, an anonymous source leaked DNA test results to The New York Post, claiming that Kristin Cabot’s youngest child, born during her marriage to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum, is neither Andrew’s nor Andy Byron’s, raising speculation about a possible fifth party. The leak, coming on the heels of viral kiss cam footage from a Coldplay concert and a Houston Astros game, has intensified scrutiny on Cabot’s $2.2 million oceanfront home in Rye, New Hampshire, where Andrew’s children were reportedly present during the latest incident. This development deepens the betrayal felt by three families and adds a new layer of mystery to an already explosive saga dubbed “Coldplaygate.”

The DNA Leak and the Fifth Party

The DNA test results, obtained by The New York Post from an anonymous source close to the Cabot family, allege that Kristin’s youngest child, whose age and name remain undisclosed, is not biologically related to Andrew Cabot, her current husband, nor to Andy Byron, with whom she was caught on kiss cams at two public events. The leak, unverified but widely circulated on X, suggests a fifth party may be involved, prompting rampant online speculation about Kristin’s personal life. “If it’s not Andrew’s or Andy’s, then who’s the father?” wrote X user @StarPlatinumSOL, echoing the question dominating social media.

Kristin, previously married to Kenneth C. Thornby until their 2022 divorce, shares at least one older child with him, per Massachusetts court records (The New York Post). Her marriage to Andrew Cabot, a Harvard graduate and rum industry executive, was cemented with the February 2025 purchase of a $2.2 million Rye home, described as a “dream home” for their blended family (The Economic Times). The DNA revelation, if true, suggests Kristin may have concealed additional relationships, further complicating the narrative of infidelity already linked to her and Byron.

The Kiss Cam Scandals and Family Fallout

The scandal began on July 16, 2025, at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium, where a kiss cam captured Byron with his arms around Cabot, prompting frontman Chris Martin to quip, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy” (Hindustan Times). The footage, which garnered over 50 million views, led to Megan Kerrigan, Byron’s wife, removing “Byron” from her social media and deactivating her accounts (The Economic Times). Days later, on July 18, a Houston Astros game kiss cam at 7:24 PM CDT caught the pair again, in front of Astronomer employees, with Megan in Row 5 and Andrew’s children reportedly at home in Rye (The New York Post). Megan’s subsequent Instagram story—“I’m done pretending. Truth will out”—signaled her resolve to end her marriage (Hindustan Times).

Andrew Cabot has remained silent, with no comment from him or Privateer Rum. Sources claim his children, from a previous marriage, were in the Rye home during the Astros incident, unaware of Kristin’s actions (The New York Post). The DNA leak now casts doubt on the stability of their marriage, with the $2.2 million home—once a symbol of their future—now a focal point of betrayal. Kenneth Thornby, Kristin’s ex-husband, previously told The New York Post he warned her about Byron in 2022, producing a 2022 photo of them at a San Francisco dinner she begged him to delete, suggesting a long-standing relationship (The New York Post).

Astronomer’s Crisis and Employee Reactions

The presence of Astronomer employees at the Astros game, a company-sponsored outing, amplified the professional fallout. Anonymous posts on X, like one from @anuibi, described the “humiliation” felt by staff witnessing their CEO and HR chief’s behavior: “This is who’s leading our culture?” Astronomer, valued at $1.3 billion, placed Byron and Cabot on administrative leave, with co-founder Pete DeJoy as interim CEO (Axios). The company’s statement on X emphasized its “commitment to values,” but former employees called Byron’s leadership “toxic,” with one telling The New York Post, “Staff enjoyed seeing him exposed.”

Cabot’s role as Chief People Officer, tasked with fostering trust, has been heavily criticized. Her now-deleted LinkedIn boasted of “winning trust with CEOs,” a claim mocked online as ironic (Times of India). Reports suggest Byron may resign, with The Financial Express noting investor pressure to address the company’s tarnished reputation.

Public Reaction and the Fifth Party Speculation

The DNA leak has sent social media into a frenzy, with hashtags like #Coldplaygate and #AstrosAffair trending alongside #FifthPartyMystery. X user @thematrixloop wrote, “Kristin Cabot’s life is a soap opera—two CEOs, a divorce, and now a mystery dad?” Others expressed sympathy for the families, with @Heart4Megan stating, “Megan and Andrew’s kids don’t deserve this mess.” The Seattle Mariners fueled the discourse with a meme captioned, “Caught on kiss cam? Email [email protected]” (Times of India).

Speculation about the fifth party has ranged from former colleagues to unnamed executives, though no evidence has surfaced. A fake statement attributed to Byron, debunked by Astronomer, briefly circulated, claiming he was “disappointed” in the scandal (Men’s Journal). The Astros’ 2:47 AM statement on July 19, regretting “any distress caused,” reflects the incident’s far-reaching impact (Fox News).

The Three Families and a Tangled Web

The scandal now engulfs three families: Megan Kerrigan’s, with her two sons; Kenneth Thornby’s, with their shared child; and Andrew Cabot’s, with his children from a prior marriage. The DNA leak adds a new dimension, suggesting Kristin’s youngest child, born during her marriage to Andrew, ties an unknown fifth party to the saga. The New York Times noted that public venues like stadiums offer “no expectation of privacy,” per expert Charles Lindsey, amplifying the exposure (The New York Times). The Rye home, purchased for $2.2 million, stands as a symbol of broken trust, with Andrew’s children caught in the fallout (Seacoastonline).

Conclusion

The DNA leak confirming that Kristin Cabot’s youngest child is neither Andrew Cabot’s nor Andy Byron’s has escalated a scandal already marked by kiss cams, public humiliation, and corporate turmoil. The $2.2 million Rye home, meant to house a blended family, now underscores a web of deceit affecting Megan Kerrigan, Andrew Cabot, and Kenneth Thornby’s families. As Astronomer faces leadership changes and the internet speculates about a fifth party, the saga—fueled by a Coldplay concert, an Astros game, and now a DNA bombshell—serves as a stark reminder of how private lies unravel in public spaces. The truth, as Megan Kerrigan declared, is indeed coming out, but the full story remains shrouded in mystery.
