Recently ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was reportedly launched to his mistress Alice Huang by her husband, based on The Wall Street Journal.

Jensen Huang not too long ago resigned from the corporate he co-founded after his affair with the businesswoman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset emerged. Jensen admitted to the affair and apologised to his spouse.

Alice Huang is herself married, with new stories claiming it was her husband, Kang Wei, who first launched her to the Nvidia chief.

Jensen Huang and Kang Wei knew one another “for a decade” when the latter launched the previous to Alice Huang, the Journal reported, citing “people who know the couple.”

“For two years, Kang appeared to accept his wife’s romantic relationship with the Nvidia CEO and spoke openly of their closeness,” the Journal reported.

Kang and Alice Huang, a journalist-turned-financier, had been “regarded as a prominent power couple in Chinese financial circles,” in accordance to the Financial Times.

Alice Huang made no secret of her ties to Jensen Huang, based on The New York Times, which reported how in 2024 she instructed different attendees at an occasion in Taiwan: “I bet you guys I can get Jensen here.” Then he arrived and had a drink.

Her tangled romantic {and professional} life was thrust into the worldwide highlight within the wake of Jensen Huang admitting earlier this week that he’d been “unfaithful” to his personal spouse of greater than 40 years.

Jensen Huang, 63, didn’t establish the opposite lady by identify, however each a separate assertion from Nvidia and information stories within the Journal and elsewhere indicated she was Alice Huang.

Nvidia has mentioned it would conduct an unbiased investigation into whether or not he was “the target of a foreign intelligence effort.”
