"It Was Suspicious a Year Ago"... 'Affair Scandal' Jensen Huang Appears to Have Teamed Up with Famous 'Sex Scandal Fixer'
Working with crisis-management firm Heller since October 2025
Initially hired to handle private matters, including family charitable activities
After Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently admitted to having an affair, he reportedly had been working for about a year with a crisis communications firm known for handling sex scandals and privacy controversies involving high-profile figures.
Alice Huang, a woman identified as the alleged affair partner of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was an executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed. The photo is reportedly from Alice Huang's WeChat account. The Telegraph.

The start of the relationship coincided with the New York Times’ (NYT) first report about Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed.
On Oct. 9 last year, the NYT reported on the relationship between the two and said the U.S. Department of Commerce was examining the possibility that semiconductor export controls on China had been circumvented through a Megaspeed affiliate.
According to WIRED, Heller was initially hired to handle matters related to Huang’s private life, including his family’s philanthropy. The firm reportedly was also in frequent contact with Huang’s daughter, Madison Huang, who handles product marketing at Nvidia.
However, Heller’s role reportedly gradually expanded after the NYT report. WIRED reported that in late October last year, Nvidia’s internal communications team was instructed to involve Heller in responding to media inquiries about Huang, whether they concerned his private life or work.
Heller is a crisis management firm that has made a name for itself handling sex scandals and privacy controversies involving prominent Americans. Its founder, Lisa Heller, reportedly has been involved in crisis response for figures embroiled in various scandals, including former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, celebrity chef Mario Batali and writer Jeffrey Toobin.
About a year later, on Nov. 8, Huang acknowledged in an email to employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized for hurting his family.
Foreign media have reported that Huang was romantically involved with Alice Huang. She reportedly has been suspected by U.S. intelligence agencies of possibly being an intelligence asset working for the Chinese government, but the allegations remain under investigation.

Nvidia’s board has also launched an independent investigation into the matter. It maintains, however, that there is currently no evidence that national security or company secrets were actually compromised. Heller told WIRED to direct its questions to Nvidia, and Nvidia had not issued a separate statement by the time of publication.
