Ex-Nvidia CEO Misled Board on Affair With Chinese Businesswoman, Sources Say

Jensen Huang, former CEO of Nvidia, misled company leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, about his affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, according to sources and internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters. Huang resigned on Thursday following the revelations. In October messages, Huang described his interactions with Alice Huang as standard business dealings with customers, despite the intimate relationship. He also discussed legal action against the New York Times over its October 2025 article, though no lawsuit was filed. Huang apologized for being unfaithful to his wife and disappointing the company. Alice Huang, a former executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed International, was under US investigation for potentially spying for China, which Beijing denies. Nvidia's stock has fallen over 30% since October 6, erasing more than $1.8 trillion in market value.
