[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] It was revealed that former NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had an extramarital affair with Huang Le, a former senior executive of Singapore data center company Megaspeed who is suspected of being a Chinese spy. The news shocked everyone. According to two people familiar with the matter and internal communications reviewed by foreign media Reuters, Huang had concealed the true nature of his extramarital affair with Huang Le from many of the company's top executives, including Huida's legal director Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld.
"Reuters" reported that two people familiar with the matter said that when the media inquired about Huang Renxun's relationship with Megaspeed and Huang Le in the fall of 2025 and October 2026, which attracted the attention of some senior executives at Huida, Huang Renxun twice described the interactions between the two parties as appropriate business dealings.
Two people familiar with the matter said that in two separate messages sent in October, Huang told Huida's top executives, including Tate and Wagenfeld, that his interactions with Huang Le were just normal business dealings with customers. In other messages, Huang also emphasized that his interactions with Megaspeed have always been routine business dealings.
Two people familiar with the matter said that Huang had discussed whether to take legal action against the New York Times after it published a report in October that revealed a public meeting between Huang and Huang Le.
This report prompted Huang to communicate with some of Huida's senior executives about their interactions in 2025, but he did not describe their relationship as an extramarital affair at the time. Two people familiar with the matter said that neither Huida nor Huang had filed a lawsuit against the New York Times. A spokesman for The New York Times said it had not received any legal requests.
It is unclear when the relationship between Huang Jen-Hsun and Huang Le began to become close. Internet photos verified by "Reuters" show that the two people have appeared together in the United States, China and other places, dating back to December 2023.
Huang Renxun resigned as CEO of Huida on Thursday (12th). In a statement last Sunday (8th), he admitted that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized for disappointing the company. However, his statement did not specifically name Huang Le.
Huang Le was a former senior executive of Megaspeed International, a client of Huida, and the United States is investigating whether she may be involved in espionage for China. The New York Times reported earlier this week that Huang also had an extramarital affair with a Huida employee; Reuters reported on Thursday that Huang also had an intimate relationship with a different Huida employee.
Tate did not respond to a request for comment, and Wagenfeld did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Representatives for Jensen Huang and a Huida spokesman declined to comment.
