Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appeared joyful during a family visit to Paris with his wife, Lori, and daughter Madison—just days before acknowledging an affair involving a woman alleged to have ties to Chinese intelligence.
Madison Huang, who works for her father’s trillion-dollar technology company, shared a collection of images on LinkedIn from Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference, widely known as the “Super Bowl of AI.”
The photographs captured the family attending events and meeting technology leaders, as well as relaxing together during their European travels in late October.
In one picture, Jensen, 63, stood with his arm around Lori, his wife of 41 years, outside Paris’s Louvre Museum. He acknowledged the affair involving her the following day.
A separate image showed Lori and Madison smiling beside a world map while holding two large bouquets of red roses.
The family photographs have taken on a darker significance since news of Jensen’s alleged infidelity became public. Alongside the images, Madison wrote: “Europe’s AI economy is in full swing—full of remarkable startups, AI applications and robots. The energy was insane.”
“Our two-week whirlwind GTC trip across Stockholm, Paris, London, Berlin and Astana comes to a close.”
The affair involving Alice Huang, who has been described as an alleged Chinese spy, came to light on Sunday after Jensen sent a company-wide message acknowledging that he had been unfaithful to his wife.

Nvidia shares fell sharply when markets opened on Monday following the revelations.
The stock was down nearly five percent by 10:20 a.m. ET, erasing approximately $200 billion from the chipmaker’s market value. Nvidia ultimately closed the day 4.27 percent lower.
The performance of major US markets, as well as the retirement savings of millions of Americans, is heavily influenced by technology companies such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta.
Those firms account for a substantial share of leading indexes, including the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite.
In the memo obtained by Our News Outlet on Sunday, Huang wrote: “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did.”
“To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust.”

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, who is suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence; the pair were photographed together at a June 2024 gathering
An intelligence memo said a US government investigation into the relationship led officials to suspect that Huang’s alleged mistress, a former executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed International, may have passed information to Beijing.
The Nvidia chief and Alice Huang are not related, despite sharing a surname. Jensen Huang has not admitted to knowing that she was allegedly involved in espionage.
President Donald Trump said at a Monday evening press conference that the FBI was examining the matter. “He’s an amazing guy. I just hope there’s no problem,” Trump said.
“I read his statement and I believe he’s suffering greatly—more so because of his family, his wife, who he loves, and his family.”
Trump said he had asked Huang whether he knew the woman was allegedly a spy. “He said, ‘I had no idea that she was,’ and I really believe him,” the president added.
Both of Huang’s children, Madison and Spencer, work for Nvidia. His son-in-law, Nico Caprez, is also a senior employee at the company, which has a reported value of about $4 trillion.
Lori Huang, 65, serves as president of the family’s $9 billion charitable foundation and frequently joins her husband at public appearances and industry events.
The timing of Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang remains unclear. The pair were first photographed together at a Taipei bar in June 2024.
Jensen Huang was wearing his signature black leather jacket and drinking whiskey with a group of technology executives.
Alice Huang was seated beside him at the gathering, which took place after a technology trade show. Technology company NetThunder later posted photographs from the event on LinkedIn.
The two were reportedly seen together again in May 2025, leaving a Taipei restaurant after a dinner attended by AI suppliers.
Nvidia’s board said it had “no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised” because of the relationship, while adding that it “will examine all available information.” The board said Huang supported the review.
In recent years, Huang has become an important figure in Trump’s orbit because of Nvidia’s central role in developing the computing power behind advanced artificial intelligence.
Trump has defended the Nvidia chief since the affair became public, describing him on Sunday night as an “honorable guy” and a “fine person.”
“He’s done an amazing job for our country,” Trump said, adding: “I haven’t heard that he’s done anything wrong. He dealt with somebody, but, you know, so does everybody else.”
