Jensen Huang has been married to his wife, Lori Huang, for more than 40 years.
The longtime couple met as students at Oregon State University in the early 1980s. After graduation, Jensen earned a master’s degree from Stanford University and went on to co-found Nvidia, the multi-trillion-dollar tech company, in 1993.
The couple also share two children, daughter Madison and son Spencer, both of whom work at Nvidia.
In October 2026, The New York Times reported that U.S. officials came to believe Jensen got involved with a businesswoman named Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, who is believed to have been spying for the Chinese government. (Alice’s whereabouts are not known and she couldn’t be reached for comment.)
In a press release issued on Nov. 8, the company announced that it would launch a probe into whether Jensen had been “the target of a foreign intelligence effort.” Jensen subsequently admitted to having an extramarital affair in a company-wide email sent on Nov. 8 that was also shared with the public via a statement on Nvidia’s website. “I owe my family and all of you an apology,” he wrote in part.
Here’s everything to know about Jensen Huang’s relationship with his wife, Lori Huang, amid Nvidia’s investigation.

Jensen and Lori’s relationship began at OSU, where they met as students in the same electrical engineering class.
“I tried to impress her — not with my looks, of course, but with my strong capability to complete homework,” he later recalled to The New Yorker in November 2023.
The couple spent time doing homework together before Jensen eventually asked Lori out on a date.
They got married in 1985
After graduating from OSU, Jensen and Lori moved to Silicon Valley and began working as microchip designers, per The New Yorker.
The couple wed in 1985, per The New York Times, and in 1993, Jensen co-founded Nvidia with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem.

Jensen and Lori welcomed two children after getting married: daughter Madison and son Spencer.
Madison worked in the luxury industry before earning her MBA from London Business School and joining her dad’s company in 2020. She currently works as Nvidia’s senior director of product and technical marketing, per her company bio.
Spencer, for his part, earned his MBA from New York University and joined Nvidia in 2022. He is the company’s director of product management for robotics, according to his LinkedIn.
They are philanthropists
In 2007, Jensen and Lori co-founded the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, which had over $9 billion in assets in 2024, per ProPublica.
The organization has focused on STEM, education and public health, according to OSU’s website. It gave the school $50 million to launch a new research and education center focused on artificial intelligence and robotics in October 2022.

On Oct. 29, 2026, The New York Times reported that Jensen had developed a “close relationship” with Alice, a businesswoman who is believed to have been spying on Nvidia for the Chinese government.
In a Nov. 8 press release, Nvidia announced that it would launch a probe into whether Jensen was “the target of a foreign intelligence effort.” In an email issued on the same day and later published on the company’s website, Jensen apologized to his family, colleagues and shareholders for his infidelity.
“I owe my family and all of you an apology,” the email began. “I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
The CEO also added that he took “full responsibility” for his actions and had agreed to “cooperate fully” with an independent internal investigation initiated by Nvidia’s board of directors.
“I love our country and our company,” Jensen added. “I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.”
