Nvidia’s board is investigating the implications of the revelations, and the Wall Street Journal reports that it is preparing to oust the executive.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang allegedly had a second affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice-president in charge of health technology activities, according to the New York Times cited by the Zambian Observer. The US newspaper says it based its report on five people working at Nvidia and reports that Huang and Powell were allegedly seen behaving affectionately at a hotel near a company conference earlier in 2026.

A witness allegedly filmed the scene, but the New York Times says it did not see the video. According to its investigation, security officers allegedly offered the witness compensation, the amount of which was not specified, in exchange for signing a confidentiality agreement. Nvidia had not commented on the new allegation at the time of the report, according to the Zambian Observer.
