According to major foreign media outlets and others on November 13 (local time), when media inquiries came in in fall 2025 and October 2026 asking about his relationship with Alice Huang and Singaporean company Megaspeed, Jensen Huang told senior Nvidia executives that the relationship was appropriate.


The outlet reported that the information came to light through accounts from two sources familiar with the matter and internal Nvidia communications documents.


In two messages sent to senior executives in October 2026, Jensen Huang described the relationship as routine business communications with a customer.


Tim Teter, Nvidia's general counsel, and Allison Wagonfeld, its chief marketing officer (CMO), were also reportedly among those who received the messages.


Jensen Huang also discussed the possibility of taking legal action against The New York Times (NYT) after a report by the newspaper in October 2025 drew attention to his relationship with Alice Huang. However, neither Jensen Huang nor Nvidia ultimately took legal action against the NYT.



It is not known when Jensen Huang and Alice Huang's relationship became an affair, but the outlet reported that photos showed the two together in the United States, China, and elsewhere as early as December 2023.
