NVIDIA’s chief executive officer Jensen Huang has admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, adding a personal dimension to reports that he may have been targeted by Chinese intelligence.
In a message to NVIDIA employees on Sunday (8 Nov), Jensen apologised to his family and colleagues, saying his actions had hurt his wife and children and that “there is no excuse for what I did”.

Jensen did not identify the woman involved, but reports from The Straits Times have linked the affair to Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman and former executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed. The two are not related.
US officials reportedly believe Alice Huang was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information on Jensen and potentially influence NVIDIA’s efforts to sell advanced AI chips to China. Those claims have not been publicly substantiated, and Beijing has denied that China sought to ensnare him. Megaspeed, an NVIDIA customer, has also faced scrutiny over suspicions that it helped Chinese companies obtain advanced chips restricted from export to China. Singapore has said police investigations into Megaspeed are ongoing, while rejecting claims that the Government separately investigated Alice Huang or raised concerns about her alleged intelligence links.
