Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled leaders about affair with Chinese businesswoman

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled company leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, about his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, according to sources and internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters. In October messages, Huang described interactions with Alice Huang as standard business dealings with customers, despite press queries drawing attention to the relationship. He also discussed legal action against The New York Times over an October 2025 article about their public meetings, though no lawsuit was filed. Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on Nov 12 after apologizing on Nov 8 for being unfaithful to his wife. The board launched an independent investigation following reports of his relations with Alice Huang, whom US authorities suspected of spying for China, and other intimate relationships with Nvidia employees. Nvidia's stock has fallen over 30% since Oct 6.
