Jensen Huang affair scandal deepens after CEO resignation: Report reveals relationship with second Nvidia employee following Kimberly Powell allegations
Jensen Huang third affair: Jensen Huang's departure from Nvidia as its CEO has been followed by another revelation about his personal life. The former CEO reportedly had an intimate relationship with a second Nvidia employee, Reuters reported, adding to earlier accounts involving the company's healthcare executive Kimberly Powell and Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang.

Two people familiar with the matter told Reuters about the relationship with the unnamed employee.

The disclosure came four days after Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a November 8 statement to Nvidia employees. He apologised to his family and colleagues but did not identify the woman involved.


Jensen Huang Second Affair With Nvidia Employee Revealed

The latest report adds another Nvidia employee to the accounts surrounding Huang's personal relationships. However, the news agency didn't identify the woman or disclose when the relationship took place.

The report also didn't mention whether the relationship had any connection to Huang's decision to leave the company.

Kimberly Powell Reportedly Had Relationship With Former Nvidia CEO

The disclosure follows a November 11 report by The New York Times about Huang's reported relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.

The newspaper reported that Powell directly reported to Huang and that the two were seen being affectionate at a hotel in San Jose, California, during a company conference in March. Nvidia and Powell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Jensen Huang's Affair With Alice Huang Raised China Spy Concerns

Another relationship that attracted attention involved Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman who is not related to the Nvidia co-founder.

The New York Times reported in October that the two had developed a close personal relationship. US intelligence officials reportedly suspected Alice Huang of having links to Chinese intelligence, although those suspicions have not been established as fact.

Then Nvidia's board had launched an independent investigation into whether Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Nvidia said it had no reason to believe its trade secrets or US national security had been compromised.
