Chris Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, is Astronomer’s new “temporary spokesperson.”
One week after the Coldplay frontman joked about the company’s then-CEO Andy Byron and then-HR exec Kristin Cabot “having an affair” at the band’s concert in Boston on July 16, the Oscar winner weighed in on the viral moment in a hilarious video shared to Astronomer’s LinkedIn page Friday.
“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer,” the Goop founder — who was married to Martin from 2003 to 2014 — began in the clip.
The actress went on to say the company has received “a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.”
As Paltrow continued, a screen appeared with text reading, “Q: OMG! What the actual f—”
The “Shakespeare In Love” star then reappeared on screen, saying in part, “Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow!”
While dodging the uncomfortable question, she joked, “We’ve been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation.”
Paltrow then turned to the “other questions we’ve received,” as the next one appeared onscreen.
“Q: How is your social media team holding—” the question began as the “Iron Man” actress reappeared in her professional capacity.
“Yes!” she exclaimed. “There is still space available at our Beyond Analytics event this September!”
“And now, we’ll return to doing what we do best… delivering game-changing results for our customers,” she concluded the cheerful video. “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”
A rep for Paltrow did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Martin — who shares kids Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with the “Royal Tenenbaums” actress — has said very little about the alleged cheating video that has lit up the internet over the past week.
In the immediate aftermath, the “Sky Full of Stars” singer told the audience at his concert that he hoped he “didn’t do something bad” by showing Cabot and Byron on the jumbotron.
Byron — who is married — stepped down as CEO of the company on July 19, while Cabot, who is also allegedly married, tendered her resignation Thursday.
