Nvidia's (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has reportedly admitted to having an affair after the Financial Times reported on his alleged romantic relationship with a woman believed by the US intelligence community to have been working as a spy for China's Ministry of State Security.
Huang acknowledged the affair in an internal message to employees obtained by the FT.
"I owe my family and all of you an apology," Huang reportedly wrote in the message.
Yahoo Finance reached out to Nvidia for a comment but had not heard back at the time of this publication.

Nvidia's board of directors said it "is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
"While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board's inquiry will examine all available information," said the statement.
The revelation came after reports of ties between Huang and a woman believed to be passing information to the Chinese government.
Last month, the New York Times reported the US intelligence service believed a Chinese national named Alice Huang, a former leader at Megaspeed, an Nvidia chip customer, and someone with a well-documented relationship with Huang himself, may have acted as an intelligence asset, sharing information with the ruling party in Beijing.
This is a developing story.
