I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and my team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I\u2019m taking time to reflect, take accountability, and figure out the next steps, personally and professionally. I ask for privacy as I navigate that process.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else\u2019s life into a spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a friend once sang: \u201cLights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n<p>For those not familiar with the band, the last line is from a Cold Play song.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the woman who filmed the clip, Grace Springer, 28,\u00a0from New Jersey, stands by sharing it online.<\/p>\n<p>She told The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/news\/14747310\/coldplay-cheating-concert-fan-filmed\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/news\/14747310\/coldplay-cheating-concert-fan-filmed\/\">U.S. Sun<\/a>: \u2018I had no idea who the couple was.
