Speaking on the ‘How I Built This’ podcast in May, Huang, 63, had opened up about his early days as the CEO of Nvidia and how that required sacrificing family time. Just five months before news of his extra-marital affair broke, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had credited his wife Lori for looking after their children so he could focus on work.
In a message to company employees released Sunday, the Nvidia chief acknowledged having an affair and apologized to his family and company staff. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s admission of an extra-marital affair has put the spotlight on his marriage with Lori Mills Huang, his wife of over four decades.
