Jensen Huang Apologizes for Extramarital Affair, Says “I Was Unfaithful to My Wife and Take Full Responsibility”; NVIDIA’s Pre-Market Trading Drops Over 2%

On November 9, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang sent an email to all employees publicly apologizing for his extramarital affair. In the internal memo, he stated clearly: “I was unfaithful to my wife, and I take full responsibility for this; I am fully committed to NVIDIA’s mission and will work diligently to rebuild your trust in me.” On the same day, NVIDIA’s Board of Directors issued a statement announcing the launch of an independent investigation into Huang’s conduct, while emphasizing its full confidence in both Huang and the leadership team—and confirming that external counsel will be engaged to conduct the investigation. Following the news, NVIDIA shares fell more than 2% in after-hours trading. A company spokesperson said the investigation would not disrupt NVIDIA’s normal operations, and Huang pledged to continue leading the company without interruption in his capacity as CEO.
