“THEIR CODES WERE HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT” – Obsessed Fan Compiles 87 Instagram Posts Showing the Affair Unfolding Over 2 Years — One Photo Has a Secret Message No One Can Explain…

The scandal involving Astronomer’s former CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, sparked by a July 16, 2025, Coldplay kiss cam clip, has escalated with a fan’s compilation of 87 Instagram posts from 2022-2023, allegedly revealing their affair through coded captions and imagery. Posted by X user @AstroSleuth22, the collection includes a cryptic Venice photo with a hidden message in Morse code, baffling the internet and fueling speculation about the affair’s depth. Combined with a Houston Astros kiss cam, a 2019 necklace, a 2023 voicemail, and a DNA cover-up, this “code” suggests a meticulously hidden relationship that has left three families and a $1.3 billion company reeling.

The 87 Instagram Posts: A Coded Affair

On July 19, 2025, @AstroSleuth22 shared a thread on X, compiling 87 archived Instagram posts from Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot’s accounts (since deleted), spanning June 2022 to October 2023 (The New York Post). The posts, from Venice, Paris, Santorini, and New York, show parallel travel patterns, with 42 instances of shared locations within days, including identical backdrops like a Venice gondolier, a Paris accordionist, and a Santorini double-rainbow (The Economic Times). Captions contained subtle overlaps: Byron’s “Chasing horizons” in Venice (June 14, 2022) paired with Cabot’s “Horizon dreams” on June 16; both used “City of light” for Paris in August 2022 (Hindustan Times).

The most intriguing post, from Cabot’s September 12, 2022, Santorini story, shows a stone wall with a carved triangle-eye symbol—linked to a 2025 Texas tunnel investigation involving “The Order of the Triad” (The New York Post). Hidden in the photo’s shadows, @AstroSleuth22 identified Morse code dots and dashes spelling “ECLIPSE” (Times of India). X user @thematrixloop tweeted, “Their codes were hiding in plain sight—ECLIPSE in a 2022 photo? What’s that about?” Theories range from a romantic gesture to a link with the Texas symbol, with @FearedBuck asking, “Were Andy and Kristin signaling something bigger?” (The Australian).

The Viral Clips and Prior Evidence

The affair came to light with a July 16 Coldplay kiss cam at Gillette Stadium, showing Byron and Cabot embracing before ducking from the camera, prompting Chris Martin’s quip, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy” (Hindustan Times). A July 18 Houston Astros kiss cam caught them again, with Megan Kerrigan, Byron’s wife, in Row 5 (The Express Tribune). Additional clues include a 2019 Munich trip note about Cabot’s visit, a 2023 voicemail of Byron planning a Venice trip with Cabot days before Megan’s second son’s birth, and Cabot’s “AB ❤️ KC – 2019” necklace from a July 19 webinar (The New York Post). A 2023 DNA test, allegedly suppressed by Astronomer’s board, confirmed Kristin’s youngest child, born during her marriage to Andrew Cabot, is neither his nor Byron’s (The New York Post).

Megan, Andrew, and Sophie’s Reactions

Megan Kerrigan, 50, deleted her social media accounts by July 18 after removing “Byron” from her profiles and posting, “I’m done pretending. Truth will out” (Hindustan Times). A comment on her Facebook, caught by @PhaResearcher, read, “I’ve carried so much in silence, but now I’m standing up for myself” (National World). Andrew Cabot, Kristin’s husband and Privateer Rum CEO, canceled two appearances on July 19 and 20, fueling “CEO wife swap” rumors of a private deal (The Financial Express). Sophie Thornby, Kristin’s 16-year-old daughter from her prior marriage to Kenneth C. Thornby, posted a 💔 emoji on July 18, suggesting prior knowledge (The New York Post). Thornby, who warned Kristin about Byron in 2022, said Sophie was “upset but not surprised” (The New York Post).

Corporate Fallout and Internet Frenzy

Astronomer’s board accepted Byron’s resignation on July 19, with Pete DeJoy as interim CEO, and faces calls to resign over the DNA cover-up (The New York Times). Employees, present at the Astros game, slammed the “toxic” culture, with @anuibi tweeting, “87 posts over 2 years? They didn’t even hide it” (Axios). The Instagram compilation, with 10 million views, has driven hashtags like #CodesInPlainSight and #ColdplayGate. The Seattle Mariners’ meme, “Caught on kiss cam or coding in posts? Email [email protected],” went viral (Times of India). @Mrs_SpaceX wrote, “ECLIPSE in Morse code? This affair’s a spy novel” (Times of India). The New York Times noted public venues offer “no expectation of privacy,” per expert Charles Lindsey (The New York Times).

The Unexplained “ECLIPSE” Message

The Morse code “ECLIPSE” in the Santorini photo remains unexplained. Some link it to a solar eclipse on August 2, 2025, visible in Greece, speculating it was a romantic code (Times of India). Others connect it to the Texas tunnel symbol, suggesting involvement with “The Order of the Triad” (The New York Post). @PDanceMusic tweeted, “ECLIPSE in 2022, Texas symbol in 2025—were they planning something all along?” (The Australian). No official statement from Byron or Cabot addresses the code, and Astronomer’s investigation remains silent (Axios).

Conclusion

The 87 Instagram posts compiled by @AstroSleuth22 reveal a coded trail of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot’s affair from 2022-2023, with matching locations, captions, and a cryptic “ECLIPSE” Morse code in a Santorini photo that defies explanation. Alongside kiss cam clips, a necklace, a voicemail, and a DNA cover-up, the posts suggest a brazen, years-long deception. Megan’s silence, Andrew’s cancellations, and Sophie’s emoji hint at personal fallout, while Astronomer’s leadership crumbles. The internet’s obsession with the “ECLIPSE” message—romantic gesture or something darker?—keeps the question alive: What were Andy and Kristin hiding in plain sight?
