Full Text of Nvidia's Jensen Huang's Apology Letter for Extramarital Affair and Board Investigation Announcement

NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang sent the following email to NVIDIA employees earlier today. It responds to recent matters of market concern.

"November 8, 2026

I owe my family and all of you an apology.

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.

Throughout my life, my family has always given me love and support. They deserved my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for my actions and all the harm caused, and I accept all criticism that follows.

To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot erase what I have done. I hope our family can heal, and I hope that over time I can earn back your trust.

To my NVIDIA colleagues—including partners I have worked alongside for decades—and to our board, our partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve a better me. Leading NVIDIA has been the honor of my life. My duty is to serve you well and be worthy of your trust. I have failed in that duty. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.

Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, the NVIDIA board has initiated an independent investigation. I support this investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and I love our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting U.S. national security. I am deeply proud and grateful to be an American.

My family bears no responsibility for my choices. The responsibility is mine. I ask that you give them privacy.

Jensen Huang"

The company board subsequently issued a statement:

In light of recent reports that the company's founder and CEO Jensen Huang has become the target of foreign intelligence activity, the NVIDIA board has decided to initiate an independent investigation.

The investigation will be overseen by an independent director committee of the board and assisted by outside independent counsel.

The board places U.S. national security and economic security first, which is critical to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders.

Although the board has no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia's trade secrets have been compromised, the investigation will still review all available information.

Jensen Huang fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it.

The board has full confidence in Jensen Huang and his leadership team and will provide further updates on the relevant developments in due course.
