Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hired crisis PR firm Heller Inc. at least a year before publicly acknowledging an extramarital affair, following reports regarding chip export compliance and a separate independent board investigation into foreign intelligence targeting.
Heller Inc. and its founder, Risa Heller, have advised high-profile figures during personal crises and allegations. Nvidia’s internal communications team was reportedly instructed to forward press inquiries about Huang to Heller Inc. shortly after an October 2025 report that Nvidia was helping Chinese companies circumvent U.S. restrictions on processor exports.
That report said a Singapore-based data center management company with ties to China had purchased nearly $2 billion worth of Nvidia processors. The company’s CEO, Alice Huang, was later linked to Jensen Huang after they appeared together at an event in Taipei.
The official admission and the investigation
On Sunday, Nvidia released a statement from Jensen Huang, in which he admitted to having an extramarital affair with a former company executive from Singapore, but did not name Alice Huang.
