Jensen Huang faces fresh scrutiny as report reveals third alleged affair

US President Donald Trump has said he spoke to Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang on Wednesday but was unsure whether it had been established that a Chinese businesswoman linked to the controversy surrounding the former CEO was a spy. Speaking on the Straight Shooter podcast, Trump said he did not know whether the woman had been confirmed to be a spy. His remarks come as fresh reports have emerged about Huang's alleged relationships with multiple women, adding to the scrutiny surrounding his departure from the leadership of the technology giant. According to Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter, Huang reportedly had an intimate relationship with a second Nvidia employee. The latest revelation follows reports of two other alleged extramarital relationships involving Huang, which have drawn attention to his personal conduct and the company's leadership. The reported relationships involve Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese intelligence services, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. The New York Times, citing five people who worked at Nvidia, reported that Huang had an extramarital relationship with Powell, who reports to him. The newspaper also reported that the two were captured on video behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California, during an Nvidia conference in March. Powell, 48, joined Nvidia in 2008 and oversees programmes focused on applying the company's chip technology to higher education and healthcare, particularly medical imaging devices, according to Nvidia's website. The controversy initially gained attention following reports of Huang's alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman and executive associated with Singapore-based data company Megaspeed, one of Nvidia's major customers. US intelligence officials reportedly suspect her of having links to Chinese intelligence services, an allegation that has added a national security dimension to the matter. The Wall Street Journal reported that Alice Huang was the woman referred to in a letter Jensen Huang sent to Nvidia employees, in which he acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and apologised for violating her trust. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and transformed it into one of the world's leading suppliers of artificial intelligence chips, becoming one of the most prominent figures in the global AI industry.
