Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted he was unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang. US media reports say the affair was with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based data centre firm Megaspeed.

US intelligence officials reportedly believe she passed information to Beijing, and the allegation has not been confirmed. The two are not related.

Huang first described the relationship as “completely normal and not unusual”. He later wrote to Nvidia staff, “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.”

Addressing his family, he added, “I know an apology cannot undo what I have done.”

Nvidia's board has opened a probe, and Huang remains CEO while it runs. The family has stayed largely out of public view, unlike those of many billionaire peers, so the scandal has drawn attention to Lori.

Lori Huang was born Lori Mills. She and Jensen met as engineering students at Oregon State University, when he was 17 and she was 19. They married in 1985, the year she completed her electrical engineering degree.

Jensen recalled their first meeting at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in November 2024. He said he approached her and asked: “Do you want to see my homework?” He added: “If you do homework with me every Sunday, I promise you, you will get straight As.” The result, he said: “I had a date every Sunday.”
