NVIDIA CEO reportedly had second affair — media

Tengrinews.kz — NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang had another secret affair, this time with his subordinate Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president for health care, according to the New York Times, citing former company employees.

“Jensen Huang, the leader of Nvidia who is under investigation for an affair with a woman who U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, also had an extramarital relationship with an executive who reports to him, according to five people who worked at the company,” the publication said.

According to the newspaper’s sources, 63-year-old Huang and 48-year-old Powell, both married to other people, were filmed showing affection at a San Jose hotel during NVIDIA’s annual conference in March 2026. Huang’s security team reportedly noticed a witness recording the scene on a phone, isolated the person and offered them a non-disclosure agreement.
Powell has worked at NVIDIA since 2008 and has risen to the position of vice president.
This is the second scandal involving Huang since the beginning of November to create problems for his company.
Earlier, the NVIDIA CEO was suspected of having “close ties” with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang. According to the Financial Times, their relationship allegedly went beyond close contact and was romantic in nature.
In a message to employees, the NVIDIA CEO admitted to infidelity. He apologized to his wife and children for the pain he had caused them but did not name the woman with whom he had the relationship. Huang has been married to Lori Huang since 1985, and the couple have two children.
NVIDIA’s board of directors announced an independent investigation into a possible intelligence operation targeting the CEO. The review will be carried out by independent directors with the involvement of external lawyers.
Amid the new scandal, NVIDIA shares at one point fell from $165.26 to $156.46. As of 4:00 a.m. Astana time, the stock was trading at around $159.
