Jensen Huang, now sporting the title of “former” Nvidia CEO, wasn’t just having an affair with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset. Nor was he juggling two extramarital relationships — as another slightly less politically-charged claim surfaced on Wednesday, Nov., alleging he was romantically involved with Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell.
No, in the wake of Huang’s Thursday resignation, a third allegation has surfaced that suggests Huang was intimately involved in at least one other company employee while married to wife and Nvidia fortune co-controller Lori Huang.
Two former Nvidia employees spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity for its Nov. 12 report, which did not name the employee. Nvidia declined to comment on the allegations, and none of the involved parties responded to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Huang previously admitted to being unfaithful to his wife after reports linked him to Chinese businesswoman and cloud computing exec Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le. According to the New York Times, Alice Huang was being surveilled by U.S. counterintelligence authorities for suspected espionage. She is a controlling shareholder of Chinese computing company Megaspeed, which was previously investigated by U.S. authorities for allegedly skirting U.S. export controls to bring advanced chips to Chinese markets. Megaspeed is still listed as an official cloud partner of Nvidia, Reuters reported.
Nvidia, one of the most valuable tech companies in the world, saw its stock plummet after news broke of Huang’s ties to the Megaspeed shareholder. In just four days, the company has lost $450 billion in market value.
President Donald Trump, who chose Huang as one of his tech advisors, has so far maintained his support of Huang while denying knowledge of the relationships. Following the CEO’s resignation, Trump celebrated Huang’s career — and then floated former Apple CEO Tim Cook as Huang’s replacement.
