Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Admits to Having an Affair With Alleged Spy Alice Huang

Nvidia is powering advanced AI with a side of scandal.

In what sounds like a honey trap ripped straight from the pages of a James Bond novel, the tech company’s CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with a woman the US government suspects to be a Chinese spy. 

Yes, really. Jensen apologized for his actions in a message shared company-wide before being posted publicly.

“I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” he wrote in the Nov. 8 message, which did not name Alice. “Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.”

While noting an apology can’t undo his actions, the 63-year-old—dad to two adult children—expressed hope he could earn back their trust over time.
