Huang, 63, reportedly had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia's vice president of health care, who reports directly to him.

The move follows Huang's earlier acknowledgment of an affair with Alice Huang, a suspected operative for China's Ministry of State Security, with intelligence warnings reportedly issued months prior. The story is developing.
