Jensen Huang and his wife Lori Huang
Jensen Huang, 63, acknowledged in a letter to Nvidia employees on Sunday that he had cheated on his wife and apologised for the hurt caused to her and their two children. Jensen was 17 at the time, while Lori was 19. Recalling their college romance in a 2024 interview, the Nvidia chief executive said he tried to impress her by offering to study together every Sunday. Jensen went on to fulfil his promise in 1993, when he co-founded Nvidia at the age of 30 with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. In an interview with Singapore-based CNA in 2026, he said Lori had been part of Nvidia at every step of its growth and had attended every conference and speech. In October 2022, they donated $50 million to Oregon State University to help establish the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex, a research and education centre focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, materials science and other fields.
Lori Huang, the wife of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, has found herself at the centre of public attention after her billionaire husband admitted to being unfaithful to her. The admission came amid a separate controversy involving an alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US authorities of having links to Beijing’s intelligence operations. Alice Huang is not related to the Nvidia CEO. The two were paired as laboratory partners. The company, initially focused on graphics processing for computers and video games, became a dominant force in artificial intelligence computing. The couple has two children, Madison and Spencer, both of whom now work at Nvidia. Madison is a senior director of product and technical marketing for physical AI platforms, while Spencer works in product management, focusing on robotics software. The couple has made substantial contributions to universities and research institutions.
