Jensen Huang is facing fresh scrutiny over his personal life after a new report alleged that the former Nvidia chief executive had an intimate relationship with another company employee, adding to the growing controversy surrounding his reported extramarital affairs.
According to Reuters, published on November 12, two people familiar with the matter said Huang had been involved with a second Nvidia employee. The news agency did not identify the woman, her position at the company, the timing of the relationship, or whether it was ongoing.
The latest revelation follows reports of two other relationships that have placed the billionaire under intense public scrutiny. One involved Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, whose alleged affair with Huang was reported by The New York Times on November 11. The other relationship involved Alice Huang, a Chinese business executive whom US intelligence officials reportedly suspect of having connections to China’s Ministry of State Security. The allegations raised concerns about whether Huang had been targeted as part of an intelligence operation.
Huang previously acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang, in a November 8 statement. However, he did not identify the woman involved or publicly confirm the other reported relationships.
Nvidia announced Huang’s resignation on November 12, following weeks of controversy over his private life. A company spokesperson declined to comment to Reuters regarding the additional relationship.
Huang’s departure has also brought renewed attention to his marriage, which dates back to the 1980s. However, Lori Huang has not publicly addressed the allegations, and there has been no confirmed announcement of a separation or divorce.
