Just days after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang, another reported relationship from his personal life has come to spotlight. According to The New York Times, Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of healthcare, who reportedly worked directly under him.

The report, published on November 11, cited five people familiar with the matter. Two sources told the publication that video footage showed Huang and Powell, who is also married, being affectionate at an event in March.

Huang's admission of infidelity came amid a separate controversy involving Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US authorities of having links to Chinese intelligence.
