A Jensen Huang third affair report emerged on Thursday, November 12, 2026, alleging that the former Nvidia leader engaged in an intimate relationship with a second company employee prior to his sudden departure.
The disclosure followed Huang’s official resignation as president, chief executive, and board member earlier in the day. The news deepens the corporate governance crisis engulfing the world’s leading artificial intelligence chipmaker.
The latest claims follow two prior controversies that triggered an internal board inquiry and led to Huang’s departure after 33 years in charge.
Reuters Reports Relationship With Second Company Employee
The new allegations surfaced in an exclusive report published by news agency Reuters on Thursday afternoon. The outlet cited two people familiar with the matter who stated that Huang maintained an intimate relationship with another colleague inside the firm.
Reuters withheld the woman’s identity and noted that efforts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful. The outlet did not disclose her departmental role or corporate ranking within Nvidia.
Representatives for Nvidia, its board of directors, and Huang did not respond to requests for comment regarding the latest report.
Successive Controversies Led to Sudden Executive Departure
The additional disclosure arrived as the third major personal relationship linked to Huang within two weeks.
The initial controversy erupted when media reports identified a relationship between Huang and Alice Huang, a businesswoman who previously worked for Singapore-based firm Megaspeed. United States intelligence officials reportedly scrutinized her over alleged ties to foreign intelligence operations.
Huang released a public apology on November 8, acknowledging he had been unfaithful to his wife.
Scrutiny intensified further on Wednesday when reports revealed a separate relationship between Huang and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare. Hours later, Nvidia’s board convened an emergency meeting to review leadership options.
Corporate Governance and Workplace Conflict Scrutiny
The reports involving colleagues have placed Nvidia’s corporate conduct rules under sharp focus. Like most publicly traded corporations, the chipmaker maintains strict ethics guidelines governing romantic relationships between senior executives and subordinate employees.
Legal and governance experts noted that undisclosed relationships between a chief executive and internal personnel create direct conflict-of-interest risks. Such entanglements can also expose corporations to workplace liability.
Lawmakers in the United States have also raised national security questions concerning Huang’s earlier contacts, planning oversight hearings into technology trade controls.
Leadership Handover Continues Under Interim Chief Executive
Despite the growing personal controversies surrounding its co-founder, Nvidia moved swiftly to maintain corporate stability.
The board named Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim chief executive while launching a formal search for a permanent successor. Long-standing director Harvey C. Jones took over as independent board chair to oversee executive governance.
Company leadership reaffirmed that Nvidia's engineering roadmaps, customer shipments, and daily operations will continue without disruption.
