Nvidia CEO Huang Admits Affair and Apologizes in Email; Board Opens Probe Into 'Chinese Spy' Plot

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to being unfaithful to his wife in an email to employees on Sunday, November 8, 2026, and apologised to his family and staff. He said he supports the board’s independent investigation and will cooperate fully.

The probe follows an October 29 report that Huang was the target of an alleged Chinese intelligence effort. US officials told the Times that Alice Huang (Huang Le), a Megaspeed executive, is a Chinese intelligence asset who built a close relationship with him. US officials do not believe Huang is aware of her intelligence activities. The claims are unconfirmed. Neither the board’s statement nor Huang’s email names any other person.
