The New York Times reported Wednesday that Huang was also involved in a second extramarital affair, with a subordinate, saying there was video evidence of the 63-year-old executive being affectionate with Nvidia's vice president of health care, Kimberly Powell.

Powell, 48, has been a public face of Nvidia's efforts to expand the chip technology into higher education and health care, and was speaking at a San Jose, California conference where they "were seen being affectionate at the hotel" by bystanders, the Times reported.

The report of the second affair follows Huang's acknowledgment of a relationship with Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed. The Wall Street Journal reported that the two were photographed together in Taipei in 2024 and 2025.
