Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after reports of affair with businesswoman suspected of Chinese espionage
Jensen Huang stepped down as Nvidia CEO on Thursday, November 12, 2026, after reports that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based Megaspeed executive whom US authorities suspect of spying for Beijing. The Justice Department said it has not concluded whether Alice Huang was a spy, and China denied the allegation. The fallout prompted scrutiny of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's handling of Nvidia chip export controls, with White House officials discussing his possible ouster and Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott calling on Huang and Lutnick to testify.
