Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang apologised to his family and colleagues in a company statement dated 8 November 2026, saying he had been unfaithful to his wife.

Nvidia said a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, will oversee a review following reports that Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.

The board said it has no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. It said the inquiry will examine all available information and that Huang will cooperate fully.

The Associated Press reported that news accounts identified business executive Alice Huang in connection with the affair and the intelligence allegations. China has rejected the espionage claims as a smear campaign. The allegations have not been established as findings.
