Jensen Huang Misled Nvidia Executives About Affair With Alice Huang, Reuters Reports

Reuters said it reviewed several exchanges from October, agreeing not to quote the messages verbatim, and described itself as the first outlet to report on the correspondence. In two separate messages, Huang told Nvidia leaders, including Teter and Wagonfeld, that his interactions reflected standard business dealings with customers. In other messages, he affirmed the routine nature of his dealings with Megaspeed International, the company where Alice Huang was a former top executive.

Press queries in the autumn of 2025 and again in October 2026 drew the attention of some Nvidia leaders to his relationship with Megaspeed and Alice Huang, the people told Reuters. Both times, Huang described the interactions as appropriate. Reuters reviewed messages only from the October 2026 exchanges, not those from 2025. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity.

The 2025 episode followed an article published by The New York Times in October of that year, which drew attention to his public meetings with Alice Huang. The article prompted Huang to communicate with some Nvidia leaders about their interactions, though he did not describe them as an affair, the people said. They added that he also discussed taking legal action against the newspaper. Neither Nvidia nor Huang sued, and a spokesperson for the Times said the paper received no legal demand.

Alice Huang is a former top executive of Megaspeed International, an Nvidia customer. The US was investigating her for potentially spying for China, Reuters said. Beijing has denied that she is a spy, and Reuters said it has not independently verified whether she worked on behalf of the Chinese government. She and Jensen Huang share a last name but are not related.

It is unclear when the relationship became intimate. Photos posted online and verified by Reuters show the two together in the US, China and elsewhere, dating back to December 2023.

In a statement on Sunday, Huang apologized for being unfaithful to his wife and for disappointing the company. The statement did not specifically name Alice Huang.

The New York Times reported earlier this week that Huang also had an extramarital relationship with an Nvidia employee. Reuters reported on Thursday that he had another intimate relationship with a different Nvidia employee.

On November 10, the independent members of Nvidia’s board said they had hired the Wall Street law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation. The move came after The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported on Huang’s relations with Alice Huang and on suspicions among US authorities that she was spying for China.

In an interview with Bloomberg published on October 29, Huang said the US government had not informed him about its suspicions regarding Alice Huang.

Nvidia’s stock has fallen more than 30% since its October 6 closing high, erasing more than $1.8 trillion from its market capitalization.

Teter did not respond to a request for comment, and Wagonfeld did not immediately respond. A representative for Huang and an Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment. A phone call and email to the contact information listed on a business card for Alice Huang went unanswered.
