Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has publicly admitted to an extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at the South Asian firm MegaSpeed.
The 63-year-old tech leader, who has been married for four decades, disclosed the affair in a message to staff on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The situation has triggered an official investigation, as Alice Huang is currently suspected by U.S. officials of gathering intelligence for Beijing.
In his message to employees, the CEO expressed deep remorse for his actions. "I was unfaithful to my wife," he stated, acknowledging the pain his choices have caused his family. He emphasized that there is no excuse for his conduct and offered a heartfelt apology to those affected by his personal decisions.
The relationship has drawn significant scrutiny due to Alice Huang’s role at MegaSpeed, a company that has purchased $4.6 billion in Nvidia chips since June 2024.
Furthermore, the U.S. government has reportedly surveilled the executive over potential efforts to evade chip export restrictions to China, though these allegations remain unconfirmed. Despite these high stakes, the Nvidia board has stated that they currently have no evidence that national security or company proprietary data were compromised by the liaison.
Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo confirmed that the CEO will maintain his position throughout the ongoing inquiry. "Today’s news will not slow Nvidia," Rizzo noted, affirming the company's commitment to stability. Meanwhile, Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy, describing Huang as an "honourable guy" and suggesting he should remain in his role while the investigation proceeds.
The Nvidia board is currently examining all available information to ensure complete transparency. While the investigation moves forward, the company remains focused on its operations. As the situation develops, we will continue to monitor the impact on both the company’s leadership and its international partnerships.
