They could have simply played it cool and acted like nothing happened - no one would have even seen the image. As CEO and HR, maintaining composure and saving face is literally part of their job.
You see that sentiment a lot, but I'll give it a hard no. This was a public event with about a 100 000 attendees, and Astronomer hires over 300 employees. There's a very decent chance someone would notice.
One percent of their employees were in the picture (the couple and one additional woman were all from the company).
But I suspect the chances that anyone that would recognize them to be in the audience and paying attention to the kiss cam is still low.
Even If they had been caught, wouldn't have gone viral. So maybe their affair is caught, but no one knows or cares outside their personal circle.
