The HR executive at the center of a viral infidelity scandal is married into one of Boston’s oldest and wealthiest families via NY Post.
Kristin Cabot, currently on leave from her job at Astronomer following an embarrassing incident that was broadcast on a jumbotron last week, appears to be married to Andrew Cabot, the owner of Privateer Rum, based on information from social media posts.
The allegedly wronged husband emphasizes his family’s lineage as the sixth-generation owner of this longstanding rum brand, which was established by the original Andrew Cabot. The Cabot family fortune has spanned generations and was estimated at $200 million in a 1972 New York Times profile. Adjusted for inflation, that would be approximately $15.4 billion in 2025.
It’s unclear when Kristin and Andrew got married, but it’s at least the second marriage for each. Her previous divorce was finalized in 2022.
Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account depicts that she has served as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020.
Property records show that they bought a $2.2 million house on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year.
The Cabot family is one of the original “Boston Brahmin” clans that controlled New England for centuries — a club so old, WASPy and distinguished that the Irish-Catholic Kennedys are left out in the cold.
The family made its fortune in soot, known colloquially in industry circles as “carbon black,” a key ingredient in car tires, and dates back to New England for 10 generations.
