Jensen Huang accused of having another affair — with an Nvidia exec

In Brief Posted: 3:17 PM PST · November 11, 2026 Lucas Ropek Jensen Huang accused of having another affair — with an Nvidia exec Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is already under investigation after having admitted to having an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy . Now the New York Times is reporting that Huang is also suspected of having another extramarital affair, with a direct report of his at the company — Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare. Powell, like Huang, is married, the outlet says. The Times says it was told of the alleged affair by five employees at the company. The sources said that Huang and Powell were captured on video “being affectionate at a San Jose, Calif., hotel” during a conference earlier this year. Like many companies, Nvidia has rules discouraging superiors from having relationships with employees in subordinate roles, the Times notes. TechCrunch reached out to Nvidia for comment. The company’s board has initiated an investigation into Huang’s publicly admitted affair. Additionally, two House Republicans said Wednesday that Congress is gearing up to subpoena Huang over the spy allegations if he doesn’t voluntarily respond to their summons to a closed-door briefing. Late Wednesday, after the reports of the second affair were published, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Nvidia board was preparing to oust Huang, who co-founded the company in 1993.
