Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reportedly had a third extramarital affair involving another company employee, according to a new Reuters report published on November 12. The allegation emerged shortly after Huang resigned as Nvidia’s CEO after 33 years, following earlier reports about relationships with a senior executive and a businesswoman suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence.
According to Reuters, two people familiar with the matter said Huang had an intimate relationship with another Nvidia employee. The news agency withheld the woman’s identity and said attempts to contact her were unsuccessful.
Nvidia declined to comment on the latest allegation, while Huang and representatives of the company’s board did not respond to requests for comment.

Third Allegation Adds to Jensen Huang’s Growing Controversy
The latest report follows allegations involving Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed International, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare.
US intelligence officials reportedly suspect Alice Huang of having connections to Chinese intelligence, raising concerns about potential access to sensitive semiconductor technology. However, the espionage allegations remain unproven.
Meanwhile, earlier reports about Huang’s alleged relationship with Powell increased pressure on Nvidia’s board because she reportedly worked directly under him.
On November 8, Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a message to employees, although he did not publicly identify the women involved.
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.
Nvidia Investigates Security Concerns Following Huang’s Departure
Nvidia’s board announced an independent investigation on November 8 into reports that Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The company said independent directors and outside legal counsel would examine the allegations. It also emphasized that it had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia’s confidential information had been compromised.
These concerns are particularly significant because Nvidia supplies advanced AI processors used in large-scale computing systems, while the US government continues restricting exports of powerful semiconductor technology to China.
