Astronomer has clarified that the woman beside CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot in an internet-breaking video is NOT Alyssa Stoddard, another company employee.

On Wednesday night, a video surfaced of the Astronomer CEO hugging Cabot on the kiss cam at Coldplay’s concert inside Gillette Stadium (the home of the NFL’s New England Patriots). Byron is married with two kids, and the viral reaction of him and Cabot has social media convinced that they’ve engaged in an affair.

Internet detectives incorrectly claimed that the red-faced woman beside Byron and Cabot was Alyssa Stoddard, who’s also employed by same company:

But in a statement posted on LinkedIn, Astromer clarified that neither Stoddard nor other company employees were at the concert:

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.

The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly. Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video. Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.”

Stoddard, who graduated from Bentley University, joined the company in January. Cabot was only hired as the Chief People Officer in November 2024. She is divorced and has at least one child, according to multiple media outlets.

There is also misinformation spreading about Byron posting a statement, but the company clarified that he hasn’t done so.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
