Jensen Huang gave false explanations to Nvidia executives about relationship with Alice Huang

Jensen Huang, the former Nvidia CEO, repeatedly gave false explanations to company executives about his relationship with Alice Huang, according to internal Nvidia communications.

According to Yonhap and Reuters, when media inquiries arrived last fall and in October this year regarding his ties to Alice Huang and Singapore-based Megaspeed, Huang told senior Nvidia executives that the relationships were "appropriate." In two messages sent to senior executives in October this year, he described them as routine customer business communications.

Sources said Huang also discussed taking legal action against The New York Times after its report in October last year drew attention to his relationship with Alice Huang. However, neither Huang nor Nvidia followed through with any legal action against the Times.

It remains unclear when the relationship between Huang and Alice Huang became romantic. Reuters said photographs it had verified showed the two together in the United States, China and elsewhere as early as December 2023.

Huang acknowledged the affair in a statement Sunday and stepped down as CEO four days later. Reports from foreign media also indicated that Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, as well as with another Nvidia employee.
