I’ve Cheated My Wife: Nvidia CEO Admits Affair with ‘Chinese Spy’

For the past few days, news was all over about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s alleged affair with a woman who is suspected to be a Chinese spy. As US intelligence agencies are suspecting that the woman has links to a Chinese spy agency, Nvidia and Jensen Huang are under the scrutiny.

Amidst this, CEO Jensen Huang made a shocking revelation via an email sent to his employees on Sunday, Nov 8. Nvidia board has launched an internal investigation after the controversy came to light on Nov 7 after a news report by The New York Times where Nvidia’s Huang had developed a close relationship with a woman named Alice Huang, an executive at Asian technology firm Megaspeed International.

US intelligence agencies reportedly informed the Trump administration that they suspected she had been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information from Jensen Huang on behalf of Beijing.

In his email to employees, CEO Jensen Huang admitted that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised for hurting his family. He also took responsibility for his actions and acknowledged that he had failed to live up to the trust placed in him.

Huang said his family had always supported him and deserved his honesty and loyalty. He expressed regret over his actions, stating that there was no excuse for what he had done.

Addressing Nvidia employees, board members, business partners and shareholders, Huang said leading the company was the greatest privilege of his life. He reiterated his commitment to Nvidia and said he would work to regain their confidence.

Meanwhile, Nvidia’s Board of Directors has issued a statement on Nov 8 announcing an independent investigation into the allegations involving its CEO. A committee comprising independent directors, with assistance from external legal experts, will oversee the investigation.

The board said it currently had no reason to believe that US national security interests or Nvidia’s confidential information had been compromised. However, it would examine all available information as part of the inquiry.

Jensen Huang has reportedly extended his full support to the investigation and agreed to cooperate with the board.
