Days after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair with an alleged Chinese spy (China denies any espionage), The New York Times has reported new claims that Huang also had an affair with an executive who reports to him: Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia VP who oversees the company's healthcare tech-related efforts.

NYT cites five sources who work at the company, and says that it is aware of, but has not seen, video evidence of the affair.

It's a story you could see playing out in a film noir thriller.

According to NYT's sources, Huang and Powell were seen "being affectionate" at a hotel in the vicinity of an Nvidia conference earlier this year. A bystander allegedly captured a video of the interaction, but according to the report was made an offer by security personnel—details unknown—in return for signing an NDA.

Nvidia's board of directors is investigating the national security concerns raised by the affair Huang disclosed over the weekend, and The Wall Street Journal reported today that the board is preparing to oust the CEO.

At the time of writing, the company has not commented on this new allegation. PC Gamer has reached out.
