Explaining The Entire Jensen Huang Saga So Even a 5-Year-Old Can Understand

Advertising enquiries: https://advertise.thebluecats.com.sg Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia’s CEO and stepped down from its board on 12 November, four days after admitting to an affair. He apologised to his family but did not name the woman. The Financial Times had reported that US officials believed he was romantically involved with Alice Huang, the former managing director of Singapore-based Megaspeed. Megaspeed first drew scrutiny in October 2025. The US restricts exports of advanced AI chips to China, but customers in China could rent computing power from Megaspeed’s data centres in Malaysia and Indonesia. US officials were investigating whether any chips had also been physically shipped to China. Megaspeed denied any illegal transfers, and Nvidia said its checks found the chips where they were supposed to be. On 29 October 2026, The New York Times reported that US intelligence officials believed Alice Huang had passed information to Beijing. China denied the allegation. President Donald Trump said the FBI was investigating, and Nvidia’s board opened its own inquiry. The board said it had no reason to believe company secrets or US national security had been compromised. On 11 November, The New York Times reported a second alleged relationship, this time involving Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice-president of healthcare, who reported directly to Jensen Huang. Nvidia declined to comment. After Huang resigned the following day, Reuters reported a third alleged relationship with an unnamed Nvidia employee.
