What will happen to Jensen Huang after third affair? Key US lawmakers are coming for ex-Nvidia CEO

Jensen Huang third affair has come to the fore after Reuters reported extramarital relationship with a second employee of Nvidia. Huang resigned from the position of Nvidia CEO following reports of affairs with alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang and Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. Huang is married to Lori Huang and the couple have two children, son Spencer Huang and daughter Madison Huang. According to Forbes, Huang still has a net worth estimated at $143 billion. After Huang’s exit, US lawmakers were still insisting on questioning him about his interactions with a Chinese businesswoman named Alice Huang and the company’s security protocols against espionage.

Huang had an intimate relationship with a second employee, Reuters reported citing two people familiar with the matter. However, the report did not name the second employee as it said that attempts to reach the woman were not successful.

Jensen Huang admitted to an affair in a November 8 statement following the reports of his relationship with Alice Huang, without referring to her by name.

Huang co-founded Nvidia, alongside Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, back in 1993 — and until Thursday had led the company ever since, with no clear successor in sight.

Nvidia announced Huang's resignation on Thursday, effective immediately. The California-based company said that Colette Kress — who has been Nvidia's chief financial officer and executive vice president since 2013 — will step into the role of interim CEO.

Jensen Huang to Face US Lawmakers?

Key US lawmakers on Thursday called for clarity on what the Trump administration knew about Nvidia chief Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, after the AI chip giant announced his departure.

Huang, now Nvidia's former CEO, had pushed for looser rules on sales of US chips to China -- crucial in the AI race -- and the controversy has reenergized advocates of a hard line on Beijing, days before Donald Trump travels to China.

Despite Jensen Huang's resignation, Congress must demand answers from Mr. Huang and others at Nvidia about how they may have put US national security at risk, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on social media.

The Trump administration must also answer for what it did once it learned about Mr. Huang's relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset, he added.

Three Republican House committee chairmen had already said they wanted to hear from Huang behind closed doors on November 18.

Democrats, who will take control of both chambers of Congress in January after winning the midterm elections, have also said they intend to look more closely into the affair.
