The HR executive caught on camera cuddling with her boss at a Coldplay concert had recently taken out a massive $1.6million mortgage with her husband, it has emerged.
Kristin Cabot and her husband Andrew Cabot, an heir to the $15.4billion Cabot family fortune, purchased a $2.2million home on New Hampshire‘s coast in March this year.
But the wealthy couple, referred to as husband and wife in state property records, did not outright pay for the ‘fixer-upper’, documents obtained by The Sun reveal.
The pair are both reportedly named on loan paperwork for the $1.6million mortgage taken out with Morgan Stanley.
Kristin, 52, and Andrew, 60, had planned to renovate the four-bed, two-bath classic New England residence, which is situated on 1.42 acres of land.
The property was sold ‘as is’ and, according to the newspaper, ‘needs rehab’. It is unclear if the couple have hired contractors yet or even started renovations.
Andrew and his elite family have now faced a global scandal that’s hit like a bolt from the blue after Kristin was caught on a kiss cam cozying up to her colleague Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston last week
The pair, who recoiled on seeing themselves on the big screen, met at AI startup Astronomer. Byron resigned as its CEO last week.
He is also married, to a woman called Megan, and they own a sprawling Massachusetts mansion.

Kristin and Andrew have not been seen in public since footage of their intimate moment with Byron at the concert went viral. It is unclear if they have since split.
Massachusetts property documents dated in January confirmed that Kristin is currently married to Andrew, CEO and COO of Privateer Rum.
It is unclear exactly when the pair tied the knot, but the documents confirm that Kristin, whose maiden name is Stanek, was married at the time of selling a $1.8 million property in Watertown, Massachusetts, earlier this year.
Public documents show that Andrew has been married at least twice before, in 1993 and 2014.
He shares two children with his first wife Maud, who posted a picture of her ex-husband with Kristin looking loved up at his daughters 25th birthday party on social media in April of last year.
Kristin even posed with his son Henry, 30, in the snaps, and was seen wearing a wedding ring at the event – which was missing during her cozy Coldplay outing with Byron.
Kristin and Andrew are also referred to as ‘husband and wife’ when they purchased their $2.2million two-story home in Rye, New Hampshire earlier this year.
As the home is currently under lien, they may have to sell the property if they are plan to move forward with a divorce or formal separation.
Both parties are responsible for mortgage payments regardless of who is physically residing in the home – which features high ceilings, a wrap-around porch, walk-up attic and two-car garage.
One party could buy the other out or refinance the loan to take on full responsibility.

Kristin and Andrew also sold another four-bedroom property nearby for $1.05million in February, after purchasing it in April of last year.
Andrew filed for divorce from his second wife Julie in 2018, after marrying in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences. Both he and his first wife Maud filed for divorce jointly in 2013, after separating in 2011.
Kristin has been married once before, filing for divorce from Ken Thornby in 2018, which was finalized in 2020.
Andrew Cabot is a direct descendant of one of the original Boston Brahmin families.
The term ‘Boston Brahmin’ refers to the historic aristocracy in Boston, dating back to the the earliest English colonists. These ultra-wealthy families held significant social, political and cultural influence from the 18th century onward.
Andrew touts his family lineage on the Privateer Rum website, highlighting how he is the sixth-generation owner of the brand and a direct descender of its founder Andrew Cabot, whom he appears to have been named after.
The Cabot Family, which first made its fortune in soot, dates back at least 10 generations and is involved in a slew of businesses across New England, including rum production.
The family is one of the richest in Boston, with a fortune worth at least $15.4 billion today, and was considered untouchable for decades until their dynasty was underscored by the political rise of John F. Kennedy.
JFK defeated Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. in a senate race in 1952, paving the path for the Kennedys to establish themselves as American royalty.
But despite the Kennedys’ rise to power, the Cabots are still so well-known in the Boston area that locals jokingly claim they ‘speak only to God’.
CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot appeared to be living the American dream before the viral moment
The Cabots were thrust into controversy last week after Kristin was caught cuddling with Byron.
In the viral moment, the two were seen enjoying the show when the camera operator working the jumbotron panned to them.
Byron had his arms wrapped around Kristin and the pair swayed in unison as the British band played.
The intimate moment descended into chaos as panic set in, Byron seemingly fell to his knees while Kristin put her head in her hands as the crowd laughed.
After the clip of the two went viral, Astronomer issued a statement confirming that Byron has been placed on leave as they investigate the incident.
The Friday night statement said: ‘Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO given Andy Byron has been placed on leave. We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days.’
Prior to the announcement that Byron was on leave, the company had announced that a formal investigation into the clip was underway.
Byron is also married, with his wife Megan Byron, removing his last name from her social media accounts shortly after the exchange with Chris Martin went viral
Shortly after, Byron’s wife Megan removed his last name from her social media accounts after the concert exchange went viral.
Kristin’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an ‘advisory board member’ at Privateer Rum since September 2020.
Kristin, Cabot and Byron have not responded to Daily Mail’s requests for comment.
