Nvidia board weighs Jensen Huang's future after second affair report

Nvidia's board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang following reports of a second extramarital affair, according to US media on Wednesday. The decision follows his admission of a relationship with Alice Huang, a senior executive accused of spying for China. The Wall Street Journal reported the board is meeting to decide Huang's fate, while the New York Times cited video evidence of him being affectionate with Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell, at a San Jose conference. Huang acknowledged the first affair in a Sunday note to employees, saying "I was unfaithful to my wife," and the board has launched an independent investigation into foreign intelligence efforts targeting him. Huang, 63, has risen to prominence alongside the AI boom, appearing with President Donald Trump and receiving the National Medal of Science last month. Congress has reportedly requested a closed-door briefing on his interactions with Alice Huang, who was allegedly photographed with him in Taipei in 2024 and 2025.
