Why is Lori Huang trending?
Searches for Jensen Huang’s wife (黄仁勋老婆) jumped after Huang admitted, in an internal message to Nvidia staff reported on 8 November 2026, that he had been unfaithful to her and that his actions had hurt his wife and children. The other woman named in the reports is Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive whom US officials allege was recruited by Chinese intelligence; that allegation is unproven and China denies it.
Lori Huang has not made a public statement in the reports we have seen, and she has long kept a low public profile.
How did Jensen and Lori Huang meet?
They met at Oregon State University, where both studied engineering. Jensen Huang graduated in 1984 and Lori in 1985. Jensen Huang has told the story of how they first met as lab partners.
Do they have children?
Yes, two: Spencer Huang and Madison Huang. Both are adults.
What does Lori Huang do?
She is president of the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, the couple’s charitable foundation, which has given to universities including Oregon State and Stanford, where Jensen Huang earned his master’s degree. She is not an executive at Nvidia.
Why does this matter to investors?
A CEO’s private life is normally not an investment issue. It became one here because of the national security questions: Nvidia’s board has opened an independent investigation, and US lawmakers want answers. For shareholders the question is “key person risk”, which we explain in our post on what it means for Nvidia shareholders.
