Jensen Huang scandal: a third Nvidia employee is now reported

New reporting says Jensen Huang had a relationship with a third Nvidia employee, on the day he left the CEO job. Her name has not been made public.

The Jensen Huang scandal has a new chapter. People familiar with the matter say the former Nvidia CEO was also in a close relationship with a third employee of the company, on top of two cases that were already public.

The news broke on 12 November 2026, the same day Huang's departure as chief executive took effect. The report does not name the woman, and attempts to reach her failed. Huang, the other women mentioned in earlier reporting and a spokesperson for Nvidia's board all declined to comment.

What led to Jensen Huang leaving Nvidia?

The scandal itself. On 8 November Huang publicly admitted that he had cheated on his wife. He did not say who the other woman was.

Two names had already surfaced in coverage. One is Alice Huang, whom US intelligence services suspect of working for Chinese intelligence. The other is Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president for healthcare. Neither Powell nor Alice Huang commented on the latest report. Separately, Singapore has reportedly barred Alice Huang from entering the country.

What has happened since

The fallout has been loud. Nvidia published letters from its leadership after the resignation, and Colette Kress, long described as Huang's right hand, is now at the helm. Markets reacted too: shares of AMD and Broadcom rose, while Nvidia and some of its partners fell. Several tech industry leaders also publicly defended Huang, and Donald Trump suggested that Tim Cook should run Nvidia.

For now, the third relationship rests on anonymous sources and no identifiable person has confirmed it. Nothing in the reporting says what, if anything, the board knew or when. What is established is the sequence: an admission on 8 November, a resignation on 12 November, and a company still trying to show it can carry on without its founder.
