Jensen Huang, the co-founder and former chief executive of the American technology company Nvidia, had a relationship with a further company employee, several Israeli news organisations reported, attributing the disclosure to the Reuters news agency. The employee's name has not been reported. N12, the news service of one of Israel's main commercial television channels, said Nvidia declined to comment.

The new report adds to two earlier relationships that had already come to light. Ynet, the website of the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, reported that Huang, who has resigned as chief executive, had been involved with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy and with an employee who reported to him, and that a further employee has now been identified. The Jerusalem Post described the latest case as an extramarital affair with a second Nvidia employee.

BREAKING: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns over controversy surrounding two extramarital affairs, including one involving a woman suspected of spying for China. The departure comes as Nvidia investigates whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.

What the earlier disclosures involved

N12 correspondent Adar Gitzis, citing Reuters, said the first relationship to emerge was with a woman named Alice Huang, whom United States intelligence suspects of spying for China. The second, N12 said, was with Nvidia's vice president for health, who reported directly to Huang. The newly reported relationship, again in N12's account, was with another employee of the company. These details, including the name Alice Huang and the role of the vice president, appear in only one of the reports gathered here, and the reports do not describe the evidence behind the intelligence suspicion.

News.co.il, an Israeli news channel on the Telegram messaging service, also attributed the report of a third affair to Reuters and said it too involved an Nvidia employee.

Third affair or second employee

The outlets count the relationships differently. N12 and News.co.il describe this as Huang's third affair. The Jerusalem Post calls it an affair with a second Nvidia employee. The two framings are not necessarily in conflict: in N12's account, the woman suspected of espionage is not described as an Nvidia staff member, which would make the latest case the third relationship overall but the second involving someone on the company's payroll. None of the reports spells this out directly, however, and the Jerusalem Post attributes its account only to unnamed sources rather than to Reuters.

Huang's departure and the market response

Huang is no longer chief executive. A photograph caption carried by the Jerusalem Post identifies him as Nvidia's co-founder, former president and former chief executive, and shows him at a Paris press briefing on October 13, 2026. Ynet reported that he stepped down from the role and that Nvidia's share price fell sharply after the resignation before moving on to smaller declines.

Ynet also referred to Huang's successor, describing her as one of the wealthiest self-made women in the United States. The reports gathered here do not name her or say when she took over.

How the story reached Israeli readers

The story was picked up within minutes by several Israeli outlets, including Ynet, its breaking-news alert channel, N12 and News.co.il, alongside the English-language Jerusalem Post. Most of these were short alerts rather than full reports, and all of them rest, directly or indirectly, on reporting from Reuters or on unnamed sources. None of the Israeli outlets presented independent reporting of its own on the relationships.

What the reports do not say

  • The identity and role of the employee in the newly reported relationship, and when the relationship took place.
  • Whether Huang has responded to the latest report. Nvidia declined to comment, N12 said, and no statement from Huang is cited in any of the reports.
  • What basis US intelligence has for its reported suspicion about Alice Huang, and whether any investigation is under way.
  • Whether Nvidia's board has opened or concluded any review of the relationships, and how the newest disclosure relates to the circumstances of Huang's resignation.
  • How Nvidia's shares responded specifically to this latest report.

How we checked this

Ynet, N12, News.co.il and The Jerusalem Post all reported a further relationship with an Nvidia employee; N12 and News.co.il attribute it to Reuters, while the Jerusalem Post cites unnamed sources. The name Alice Huang, the vice president's role and Nvidia's refusal to comment come from N12 alone, and we have not independently verified any of the claims.
