Nvidia's (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has reportedly admitted to having an affair, two days after the Financial Times reported on his alleged romantic relationship with a woman believed by the US intelligence community to have been working as a spy for China's Ministry of State Security.
Huang acknowledged the affair in an internal message to employees obtained by the FT.
"I owe my family and all of you an apology," Huang reportedly wrote in the message.
Yahoo Finance reached out to Nvidia for a comment but had not heard back at the time of this publication.
Nvidia's board of directors said it "is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
The revelation came after reports of ties between Huang and a woman believed to be passing information to the Chinese government.
Last month, the New York Times reported US intelligence efforts related to Huang and China. The US intelligence service, the report said, believed a Chinese national named Alice Huang — who has served as a leader of Nvidia chip customer Megaspeed and who maintains a well-documented relationship with Huang himself — has acted as an intelligence asset and passed information to the governing party in Beijing.
This is a developing story.
