According to Taiwanese media outlets including TVBS on November 7, Jensen Huang had a business dinner at Sanliushu, a restaurant he frequents in Taipei, during a visit to Taiwan in May 2025. Alice Huang was also present, and TVBS released photos and videos showing the two posing together and interacting warmly at the restaurant.

Dining Together at Restaurant... Seen Looking Affectionate

TVBS reported, "When CEO Huang visited Taiwan last year, the two appeared very close. They were seen dining together at Sanliushu, a restaurant Huang frequents, and posing for a photo with his arm around her waist. After the photo was taken, Alice Huang also kissed CEO Huang on the cheek."

After the meal, the two left the restaurant with their security guards. While CEO Huang turned around to greet a customer, Alice Huang got into a vehicle first. Huang then got into the same vehicle, and they left together.

Chinese Spy Allegations... U.S. Intelligence Agencies Take Notice

On October 29, The New York Times (NYT), citing U.S. government intelligence officials, reported that they believe Alice Huang, a Chinese government spy, had developed a close relationship with CEO Huang and had been leaking information to China.

Some Chinese records indicate that Alice Huang previously worked as a broadcast journalist in China and held positions at major Chinese banks. She also worked at Huarui Capital, an investment firm that provides funding to semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) companies.

U.S. intelligence agencies suspect that she was recruited as an informant by the MSS, China's principal intelligence agency. The allegations are that China used her to collect information on advanced semiconductors and AI, while also seeking to influence CEO Huang to have Nvidia supply China with cutting-edge semiconductors.

The Financial Times (FT) later reported that an intelligence memo prepared by the U.S. government earlier this year said CEO Huang and Alice Huang had been romantically involved.

CEO Huang Admits to Affair in Internal Memo... Apologizes to Family

CEO Huang had previously stated that his relationship with Alice Huang was limited to ordinary business interactions. Nvidia also explained that Alice Huang was one of many executives at customer companies and that CEO Huang meets with thousands of senior customer representatives every year.

However, in an email notice sent to employees on November 8, CEO Huang admitted to having an affair, saying he had not been faithful to his wife. In the memo, he wrote, "I was not faithful to my wife. My actions hurt my wife and children, and there is no excuse for them. I deeply regret what I did and will work to regain the trust of my family, employees, and shareholders."

Nvidia's board of directors has decided to launch an independent investigation in response to recent reports that CEO Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence agency. The board issued an official statement saying that an independent committee of directors, advised by outside independent counsel, will oversee the investigation.

The board said it has no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia's confidential information has been compromised, but will review all relevant information. CEO Huang has said he will cooperate with the investigation.
