Photographs showing former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in close personal moments with Alice Huang, a former senior executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed International, have drawn fresh attention to the controversy surrounding the billionaire’s departure from the chipmaker.
The images, published by The New York Post and reported by other media outlets, include photographs from Taipei in June 2024 and a dinner in May 2025. The latter gathering reportedly included Jensen Huang’s daughter, Madison Huang, and her then-fiancé, Nico Caprez. Taiwanese media reports say Madison took photographs of her father and Alice during the meal.
Alice Huang, 49, has been suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese intelligence. However, suspicion is not proof of espionage, and the allegations against her have not been publicly established as fact. Beijing has rejected the spying allegations.
The photographs have emerged as Nvidia faces an extraordinary leadership crisis following Jensen Huang’s resignation on November 12, 2026. The company’s board has appointed chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim CEO and begun searching for a permanent successor.
Jensen Huang and Alice Huang photographed together in Taipei
According to reports, Jensen Huang began socialising with Alice Huang in December 2023, and their relationship reportedly became an affair in 2024. Photographs from Taipei in June that year show the two embracing, adding to the collection of images documenting their appearances together.
The pictures have attracted attention because they appear to show the relationship in public settings rather than only in private or undisclosed meetings. Their significance has also grown because of the separate national-security questions surrounding Alice Huang’s professional connections and the activities of Megaspeed International.
Jensen Huang has acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang. His admission has given greater weight to reports about the personal relationship, although it does not establish the separate allegation that Alice Huang worked for Chinese intelligence.
What reportedly happened at the Taipei dinner in May 2025?
One of the most discussed episodes took place on May 22, 2025, during Jensen Huang’s visit to Taiwan for the Computex technology exhibition. Taiwanese broadcaster TVBS and other media outlets reported that he and Alice Huang attended a dinner at Sanliu Shifu, an exclusive restaurant in Taipei.
The gathering reportedly included Madison Huang, then 35, and her fiancé at the time, Nico Caprez, a former Swiss Alpine ski racer who works in Nvidia’s artificial intelligence infrastructure business. The group shared a table, and photographs and video footage circulated by media outlets showed Jensen and Alice sitting close to each other.
According to Taiwanese media accounts, the pair had their arms around each other’s waists during the meal. Alice reportedly leaned over and kissed Jensen on the cheek. Madison is said to have taken a mobile phone from Caprez and photographed the two together.
The reports also said Jensen and Alice left the restaurant in the same car after dinner. The episode has attracted particular interest because Madison was reportedly present and took photographs of the pair.
It remains unclear what Madison knew about the nature of her father’s relationship with Alice at the time. The fact that she reportedly photographed them does not, by itself, establish whether she understood the circumstances or was aware of the allegations that would later emerge.
Who is Alice Huang and why are US officials scrutinising her?
Alice Huang is a Chinese businesswoman who previously held senior positions in the financial sector before becoming associated with Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based data centre company. Her reported connection with Jensen Huang has brought renewed attention to her professional history and the company’s business dealings.
US intelligence officials suspect Alice Huang of having links to Chinese intelligence. The allegations have raised concerns because Megaspeed operated in the technology and data centre sector, where access to advanced computing hardware has become a major issue in the strategic competition between Washington and Beijing.
Megaspeed has also faced scrutiny over questions about whether Nvidia chips supplied through commercial channels could have reached Chinese customers in violation of US export restrictions. Such concerns are particularly sensitive because Washington has imposed controls on the sale of advanced artificial intelligence processors to China.
However, the different strands of the controversy must be distinguished. Questions about Megaspeed’s business, suspicions about Alice Huang’s possible intelligence connections and reports of her personal relationship with Jensen Huang are related in media coverage, but they are not interchangeable allegations.
Public reporting has not established that Alice Huang was acting as a Chinese intelligence operative or that Jensen Huang knowingly assisted any foreign intelligence operation. The allegations remain a matter of scrutiny and investigation rather than a proven finding of espionage.
Megaspeed’s role adds a national-security dimension
The controversy extends beyond Jensen Huang’s private life because Megaspeed has been linked to Nvidia’s wider commercial ecosystem. The company operated in a sector where access to powerful processors, computing capacity and data centre infrastructure can have implications for both commercial competition and national security.
US export controls are designed to restrict China’s access to certain advanced chips and related technology. Authorities have been concerned about the possibility that intermediaries, overseas companies or complex supply arrangements could be used to bypass those restrictions.
Megaspeed’s business activities have therefore attracted attention from researchers, journalists and officials examining the movement of advanced computing hardware. The scrutiny does not automatically mean that the company or its former executives violated the law. Establishing any breach would require evidence about transactions, customers, shipments and the relevant export-control rules.
Megaspeed has said Alice Huang officially left the company in August 2025 and no longer holds a current position there. The company has also rejected media assertions about its business and supply chain that it says are not supported by verifiable evidence.
The company-related questions are especially consequential for Nvidia because the chipmaker sits at the centre of the global artificial intelligence industry. Its processors are used by cloud computing companies, research institutions, technology firms and governments. Any suggestion that commercial relationships could have created vulnerabilities involving restricted technology is likely to attract scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers.
Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO
Jensen Huang’s departure from Nvidia has transformed the controversy into a major corporate leadership story. The company announced on November 12 that he had resigned as president, chief executive and a member of its board, effective immediately.
Nvidia appointed Colette Kress, its executive vice president and chief financial officer, as interim CEO. Kress will continue to serve as CFO while the board searches for a permanent successor. The company also appointed longtime director Harvey C. Jones as its first chair of the board.
Huang’s resignation followed reports of two extramarital relationships, including the reported relationship with Alice Huang and another involving a Nvidia employee. His admission that he had been unfaithful to his wife added to the scrutiny surrounding his personal conduct.
The departure marks a significant change for Nvidia, which Huang co-founded and led for more than three decades. Under his leadership, the company became a central supplier of processors used to train and operate artificial intelligence systems. Its growth made Huang one of the most influential executives in the technology industry.
The board now faces the challenge of managing the leadership transition while maintaining confidence among employees, customers, investors and business partners. Nvidia’s immediate operational priorities include continuing its product development, meeting customer commitments and managing the regulatory questions surrounding its business relationships.
Reports of tensions between Huang and interim CEO Colette Kress
The leadership transition has also drawn attention to Huang’s reported working relationship with Kress. A Wall Street Journal report described a meeting in which Huang interrupted Kress during a presentation and criticised her performance, reportedly calling her a “deer in the headlights”.
The meeting was said to have involved senior finance executives and discussions about Nvidia’s financial exposure to deals intended to support companies buying its chips. The report suggested that Huang had become concerned about the scale of some proposed financing arrangements and the risks associated with them.
The episode has raised questions about the internal decision-making environment at Nvidia before Huang’s departure. Kress is now responsible for leading the company during a period when investors and regulators may seek greater clarity about its commercial commitments, governance and oversight.
Her appointment as interim CEO does not mean that the board has already selected a permanent replacement. Nvidia has said it will consider both internal and external candidates as part of the succession process.
What is known about Jensen Huang’s family?
Jensen Huang has been married to Lori Huang for more than four decades. The couple met while studying at Oregon State University and have two children, Madison and Spencer Huang. Both children have professional connections to Nvidia.
Madison Huang has held a senior product marketing role in Nvidia’s robotics division. Her husband, Nico Caprez, is a former Swiss Alpine ski racer who works in the company’s artificial intelligence infrastructure business, according to the reports.
Jensen Huang’s son, Spencer Huang, has also held a position at Nvidia. The family’s professional links to the company have attracted attention because the leadership controversy involves not only Huang’s personal conduct but also questions about corporate relationships and governance.
Huang’s public image has long included his identity as a family-oriented executive and the story of building Nvidia with a relatively small founding team. The recent revelations have complicated that image, particularly after he acknowledged infidelity and photographs of his appearances with Alice Huang became widely circulated.
Why the photographs matter beyond the personal controversy
The images have become more than a celebrity-style story about a technology executive’s private life. They have added a visual dimension to a controversy involving corporate leadership, alleged foreign intelligence links and the security of advanced artificial intelligence technology.
For Nvidia, the central issue is whether the scrutiny surrounding its former chief executive could affect confidence in the company’s governance and relationships with customers and regulators. The company operates in a strategically important industry in which access to advanced chips is closely tied to national economic and security interests.
For US authorities, the questions surrounding Alice Huang and Megaspeed involve the broader challenge of monitoring technology supply chains and preventing restricted hardware from reaching prohibited destinations. Any conclusions will depend on evidence gathered through the relevant investigations.
The photographs from Taipei may help establish that Jensen and Alice Huang spent time together in public settings, but they cannot establish whether espionage occurred or whether any export-control violations took place. Those questions require separate evidence and official findings.
As Nvidia begins its search for a permanent CEO, the company faces the task of separating its long-term technological and commercial strategy from the controversy surrounding its former leader. The outcome of the investigations and the board’s response will help determine how the episode affects the company’s reputation and its relationship with governments, customers and investors.
