Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits infidelity amid internal investigation
Jensen Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair in a letter to employees, while Nvidia conducts a probe into possible foreign intelligence targeting.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang told staff in a written message that he had been unfaithful to his wife, Lori Mills, and accepted full responsibility for his actions. The admission comes as the company launches an internal investigation to determine whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort after a media report linked him to a Chinese businesswoman accused of passing information to Beijing.
Huang and Mills met as college students at Oregon State University in the early 1980s and married in 1985. They have two children, daughter Madison, a senior director of product and technical marketing for physical AI platforms at Nvidia, and son Spencer, who manages robotics software products. Mills, a former microchip designer at Hewlett-Packard, has not issued a public comment on the matter.
The couple founded the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation in 2007, which supports education, health care and advanced technology research. The foundation’s collaborative innovation complex bears both their names.
