During their concert in Boston, the jumbotron focused on Byron and Cabot, who quickly ducked as soon as the camera pointed towards them, leaving everyone in suspicion. Social media quickly tracked both protagonists down and concluded that they were having an affair.
Both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot left their jobs at Astronomer after the debacle.

Pictures of the families of both Byron and Cabot went viral online, with many criticising them for normalising cheating while having responsibilities. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know.
