Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleFormer Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has landed in a sea of controversy. It’s all because of his illicit affair with Singapore-based Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang. In late October 2026, Jensen came under immense scrutiny as reports surfaced claiming that he cheated on his wife of 40 years, Lori Huang.
Later, on November 8, 2026, Jensen admitted his infidelity. The affair controversy escalated after reports said that Jensen also had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. This led Jensen to resign as the CEO of Nvidia. Amid this, his past remark about his wife resurfaced.
Jensen Huang credited his wife, Lori, for managing the household while he focused on business
Earlier, in May 2026, Jensen Huang appeared on the podcast How I Built This with Guy Raz. During the conversation, Jensen credited his wife of 40 years, Lori Huang, for managing the household while he focused on building Nvidia. Calling his wife 'strong' and 'amazing', the former Nvidia CEO explained that to build a company, a person needs a partner who is strong. He said:
"If you're going to build a company, you need somebody strong, and you need somebody amazing like my wife. And she took care of everything."
Jensen and Lori crossed paths in the early 1980s, when they were both studying electrical engineering at Oregon State University. At the time, Jensen was 17, and Lori was 19. Huang was 20 when he told Lori that he would become CEO by the time he reached age 30. During a speech at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2024, Jensen shared details about the promise that he made to Lori before marrying her. He said:
"Just to make sure that eventually she marries me, I told her that by the time I am 30, I am going to be CEO. I had no idea what I was talking about. And then we got married."
The couple got married in 1985, five years after they first met. According to reports, the couple has two children, Madison Huang and Spencer Huang, who are believed to be in their 30s.
More about the cheating scandal involving Jensen Huang and Alice Huang
Jensen Huang and Alice Huang’s affair came out in public on October 29, 2026, when The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials had concluded Alice was a Chinese intelligence asset who developed a close relationship with him. Later, on November 8, 2026, Jensen admitted that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized to her and their children. In the statement, he said:
"My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry. Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty."
In the statement, the former Nvidia CEO said that while his family deserved his honesty and loyalty, he let them down and damaged the life they built together. He also took full responsibility for what he did and the hurt he caused. He then accepted the criticism that had come with it.
Jensen declared his love for his wife and his family. He admitted that an apology cannot undo what he has done. He just hoped that his family would heal and that, over time, he could earn back their trust. The affair involving Jensen and Alice was publicly confirmed at the same time that Nvidia said it would launch a probe into whether Huang was 'the target of a foreign intelligence effort.'
According to reports, Alice was introduced to Jensen by her husband, Kang, a decade before their illicit affair. In fact, Kang also boasted about their affair to his clients. He reportedly called Alice, the personal assistant (PA) of Jensen Huang.
