‘Was unfaithful’: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits to affair with alleged Chinese spy

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted on Sunday that he had been unfaithful to his wife, admitting full responsibility for his actions which hurt her and their children, according to The Washington Post. The reports linking him to an alleged Chinese spy emerged last month from The New York Times. Huang wrote in a message to employees that he took full responsibility for his actions, accepting the criticism that accompanied them.

Nvidia stated that during the investigation, Huang would continue to serve as CEO without interruption. The company's board emphasized that US national and economic security took precedence over Nvidia's corporate interests. Huang's letter to employees expressed his sincere apology to his family and colleagues, stating he had failed to live up to the trust placed in him.

Nvidia's board initiated an independent investigation, with a focus on examining all available information without implicating national security or Nvidia's secrets.
