Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleNvidia CEO Jensen Huang has left many unhappy due to his recent actions. No one had thought that 63-year-old Jensen, who has been married to his wife, Lori, for the past forty years, was cheating on her. The news of his affair with an alleged Chinese spy, Alice Huang, broke in late October 2026, but he admitted to his actions earlier this week.
Jensen Huang is not at fault for cheating on his wife, as per California law
Ever since Jensen Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang, people have been wondering and judging him, while some are in disbelief and sharing their sympathy. Amid it, all eyes are on Jensen Huang's wife, Lori, and people are speculating about the future of their relationship.
Reports are rife that if Lori files for divorce after 40 years of marriage, she might get half of her husband Jensen's wealth. Since the two got married at a young age and at a time when prenuptial agreements might not have come into existence, she is eligible to get USD 80 billion.
However, as per California marital law, if a partner gets caught cheating, there are no direct criminal or civil penalties, as it is a no-fault divorce state. So, if a husband gets caught cheating on his wife, it doesn't mean he loses all his property or gets heavily penalized just for his infidelity. In other words, couples married for more than seven years must split all assets they acquired together 50/50.
Apart from the world judging Jensen Huang, people in his birthplace are sympathetic towards him due to his rock star status. Whenever he visits Taiwan, his birthplace, people follow him as they consider him a person of high value, and domestic media call his craze 'Jensanity'.
As the FBI investigates the matter to determine Huang's role in the affair with the alleged Chinese spy and whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, Taiwanese people are trying to defend him. Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Ming-Chi said that since there is no evidence, he cannot say much. But one academic, Liu I-Ii, shared that one should not judge a person by just one thing, as nobody is flawless.
Jensen's hairstylist, Ray Wang, expressed that his bond with the CEO formed when he visited him in 2017. He stated that he has been praying for Huang to get through the difficult time, and he wants to write him a letter. He said:
"Every day I pray for Mr. Huang, hoping he gets through this difficult time. I really want to write him a letter of encouragement, but I feel this isn't a good time, because he's very busy."
