Briefings
Five anonymous sources confirm Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's VP of healthcare. The relationship occurred at a San Jose hotel during a conference in March 2026, where they were seen affectionate. Both are married to others, and intelligence agencies reportedly know about other affairs. Huang declined to discuss the relationship directly when contacted. The incident was not previously reported, and the company's code of conduct prohibits such situations.
