Fresh allegations have surfaced regarding a third extramarital affair involving former NVIDIA Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang.

On the 12th (local time), Reuters reported, citing multiple sources, that the former CEO had a romantic relationship with yet another female employee at NVIDIA.

This marks the third infidelity allegation following previous reports involving Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive suspected of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, NVIDIA's Vice President of Healthcare.

Reuters did not disclose the identity of the employee and stated that attempts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful. NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, and a spokesperson for the NVIDIA board of directors also declined to comment on the report.

On the 8th, Huang issued an apology, stating, "I have been unfaithful to my wife. My actions have hurt my wife and children, and there is no excuse for what I have done." However, he did not reveal the identities of the women involved in the extra-marital relationships.

The NVIDIA board of directors announced on the same day that Huang is stepping down as CEO. As a co-founder and the fourth-largest shareholder holding approximately 3.61% of the company's stake, Huang is also set to step down from the board.

Consequently, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Colette Kress has been appointed as interim CEO. In an email sent to all employees on the same day, interim CEO Kress wrote, "I know this is a very difficult time," and added, "Please know how much we appreciate the resilience, professionalism, and dedication you have shown." She continued, "In the coming days, you will hear more from the executive team about our shared future."

Interim CEO Kress also announced plans to hold an all-hands company meeting on the 18th.
