Nvidia and U.S. federal agencies are investigating potential foreign espionage risks involving CEO Jensen Huang after revelations of an extramarital relationship.

Nvidia has launched an independent internal investigation into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following revelations of an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. U.S. intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are examining whether Alice Huang acted on behalf of Chinese intelligence services to extract information from the executive.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the FBI's involvement, noting that Jensen Huang denied any knowledge of foreign intelligence ties during a private discussion. In a message to staff, Huang acknowledged personal infidelity without naming the individual involved. Nvidia stated that initial internal reviews found no evidence that proprietary technological data or classified national security information was compromised.
