Nvidia scandal deepens as report reveals another employee relationship

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing fresh controversy after reports revealed another alleged relationship with a female company employee.

According to an exclusive Reuters report, two people familiar with the matter said Huang had an intimate relationship with a second female employee, apart from Kimberly Powell, a senior executive at Nvidia.

The identity of the second employee has not been disclosed. Reuters said attempts to contact the woman were unsuccessful.

The latest revelation has added to the controversy surrounding Huang's private life, which has attracted international attention following reports of alleged extramarital relationships.

Multiple relationship allegations emerge

Earlier reports had linked Huang to two women, including Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese espionage.

The other woman was identified as Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.

The latest report has raised further questions about the former technology executive's personal relationships and their possible impact on the company's leadership.

Huang had issued a statement on November 8, admitting that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologising to his family. However, he did not identify the woman involved in the relationship.

Colette Kress takes charge as interim CEO

Meanwhile, Nvidia's board of directors has appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim chief executive.

The appointment followed Huang's resignation as president and CEO on November 12, 2026. The company confirmed that it would begin searching for a permanent replacement, considering both internal and external candidates.

Nvidia has not officially cited the personal allegations as the reason for Huang's departure. The developments have nevertheless placed the world's leading artificial intelligence chipmaker under intense international scrutiny.
