NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is under intense scrutiny following revelations about his alleged affair with former executive at Singapore’s data center company Megaspeed International, Alice Huang. The controversy even prompted an independent investigation by the company’s board and raised questions about potential national security implications as many speculated whether she was a spy from China.
Jensen admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang, in an emotional letter to Nvidia employees on November 8, 2026. While he did not identify the woman involved in his extramarital affair, his admission came after reports linking him to Alice surfaced.
The controversy has attracted eyes outside of Silicon Valley and quickly took over the internet shortly after news of it broke. Here is what we know about the alleged affair and NVIDIA’s investigation.
Jensen Huang’s Alleged Affair With Alice
Jensen’s admission of his affair came after reports by The New York Times reported his alleged close relationship with Alice. The two had been seen together at industry events dating back to 2024.
The reports also raised concerns that Alice may have connections to Chinese intelligence and could have been tasked with gathering information about NVIDIA’S advanced chip exports to China.
It is still unclear whether NVIDIA’S confidential information or U.S. national security secrets were compromised.
Jensen own admission of infidelity, however, was unequivocal. In his letter to employees, he acknowledged that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized for the harm caused to his family.
“I owe my family and all of you an apology,” Jensen’s public apology began. “I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry. Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together.”
Jensen went on to write, “I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it. To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust.”
