Jensen Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia, publicly admitted to an extramarital affair with Chinese businesswoman Le Huang (also known as Alice Huang) and apologized to his wife, Lori Huang, and their children. The admission was made in a statement released on 9 November 2026. Huang, 58, has been married to Lori for 41 years. The couple met while studying electrical engineering at Oregon State University in the early 1980s. They married in 1985 after a five‑year courtship that began in a laboratory partnership. Lori, who was born in the United States to a working‑class family, earned a degree in electrical engineering and later worked as a micro‑chip designer at Hewlett Packard before focusing on family and philanthropic activities. In June 2026, Huang appeared on a Korean television program hosted by Liu Zai‑xi. He and Lori sat together on the set, and Huang recounted the early stages of their relationship, including a promise he made to Lori that he would become a chief executive officer by the age of 30. He said that the promise was fulfilled when he co‑founded Nvidia in 1993 and became its CEO at age 30. The program aired to high viewership and attracted widespread media attention. During the interview, Huang also discussed his personal style, noting that many of his clothing items were purchased by Lori. He stated, “Everything I wear is bought by my wife. I stopped shopping for myself after I met her at 17.” The segment was followed by a statement in which Huang apologized for his infidelity and expressed remorse for the harm caused to his family. Le Huang, a Chinese entrepreneur, has been described by media sources as the woman with whom Huang had the affair. No further details about the nature or duration of the relationship have been released. Nvidia’s board and corporate communications have not issued a statement regarding the allegations. The company’s stock price remained largely unchanged following the announcement. Lori Huang has maintained a low public profile. She serves as president of the Jen‑Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, a charitable organization founded by the couple. According to the foundation’s 2024 financial disclosure, its assets were valued at approximately $9.2 billion, comparable to the endowment of the MacArthur Foundation. The couple’s two children, Madison Huang and Spencer Huang, are both employed by Nvidia. Madison works in simulation technology, while Spencer is involved in robotics. According to NDTV Profit, both parents earned more than $1 million in compensation from Nvidia in the 2026 fiscal year. Huang’s admission has prompted discussions about the impact of personal conduct on corporate leadership and the responsibilities of public figures. No legal action has been announced.
