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

usnews.com —

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang 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 as Nvidia CEO on Thursday after describing his interactions with Alice Huang as standard business dealings in October messages, despite the intimate relationship. He apologized for being unfaithful to his wife, while the US investigated Alice Huang for potential spying for China, which Beijing denied. The independent Nvidia board hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate after media reports, and Huang discussed suing the New York Times over an October 2025 article but did not. Nvidia's stock has fallen over 30% since October 6, erasing more than $1.8 trillion in market value.
