"As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," the company said in a statement posted on LinkedIn at the time.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin for 13 years, announced Friday on X that she was hired by Astronomer as a "very temporary" spokesperson.

Paltrow adds, with more than a hint of irony, that Astronomer has “gotten a lot of questions over the last few days” and that she has been enlisted to “answer the most common ones.”
