The daily is based on the testimonies of five people who worked in the company. Jensen Huang, 63, and Kimberly Powell, 48, are both married. The leader has not publicly confirmed this second relationship.

This alleged relationship raises a governance question: Nvidia's code of conduct asks employees to avoid conflicts of interest, particularly those related to personal relationships.

Last Sunday, Jensen Huang apologized to his family and employees, admitting to having been unfaithful. This message came after revelations about his relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a Singaporean client of Nvidia, suspected of links with Chinese intelligence services.

The group has opened an independent investigation into a possible foreign influence operation. Its board then met last night to consider the CEO's future. No official decision on his departure had been announced in the latest information available this Thursday, November 12.
