Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Admits Affair With Suspected Chinese Spy

OPA WIRE, Nov 8 (OPA) — Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang confirmed in a memo to staff that he was unfaithful to his wife, stating that his actions hurt his family and that there was no excuse for his conduct. Huang, 63, has been married to Lori Mills Huang for 41 years. The billionaire executive has not admitted to knowing that his mistress, Alice Huang, was operating as a spy, though the two share no relation despite their identical surnames.

U.S. surveillance footage and intelligence memos revealed that Alice Huang was delivering intelligence to Beijing while working as a senior executive at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based buyer of Nvidia's advanced AI chips. The company has also faced scrutiny for allegedly smuggling those semiconductors into China. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly drafted a classified memo regarding the relationship in March 2026, warning top officials of the security implications.

Nvidia's board stated that it had no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised by the relationship, but confirmed it would examine all available information. Huang has committed to fully cooperating with the review. Despite the classified warnings circulating within the Trump administration for months, Huang has remained a prominent figure in President Donald Trump's inner circle, attending a September 24 White House state dinner and sitting next to the president during a September 29 tech luncheon.

Concerns regarding Huang's influence on U.S. policies surrounding the light regulation of artificial intelligence technologies were raised by officials briefed on the intelligence matter. Huang defended his allegiance to the United States following the public disclosure of the affair. 'I love our country and our company, and I am committed to protecting Nvidia and supporting America’s national security,' Huang said in his message to employees.
