Lutnick agrees to testify before Congress amid bipartisan concerns

Jensen Huang, the former CEO of Nvidia, reportedly adopted a resigned attitude following allegations of his extramarital affairs, according to sources. He has been linked to three women, including his former executive Alice Huang, who is also alleged to be a Chinese spy, and Nvidia's healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell. The third woman's identity remains undisclosed.

Bloomberg cited an insider who noted a shift in Huang's demeanor, with him using phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care." Those who have interacted with him recently described him as remorseful, acknowledging he referred to himself as a "piece of sh*t" and expressed no concern for himself, focusing instead on his wife and ensuring the well-being of the women involved.

The timeline of events leading to Huang's resignation started with New York Times reports in late October 2026 raising questions about his relationship with Alice. Huang confessed to being unfaithful to his wife in an email to Nvidia staff on November 8, expressing remorse and accepting responsibility for his actions. The affair with Powell was revealed three days later.

Colette Kress, Nvidia's executive vice president and CFO, will take over as interim CEO following Huang's departure. She emphasized Nvidia's strength lies in its people and commitment to the foundation Huang built over three decades. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993, leading the company for over three decades and becoming a prominent figure in the AI and accelerated computing race.

He is married to Lori Mills, his college sweetheart and lab partner, with two children who both work at Nvidia. Reports suggest Huang had no succession plans for the CEO position.
