A third allegation of an extramarital affair emerged against Jensen Huang on Nov. 12 (local time), the same day he stepped down as CEO of Nvidia amid a spy scandal.

Reuters reported that day, citing multiple sources, that the former CEO had an inappropriate relationship with another female Nvidia employee.

The report did not disclose the employee's identity. Neither the company nor representatives of Huang responded to requests for comment on the matter.

Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993, recently became embroiled in controversy after admitting to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at a Singapore-based data center company who is suspected of being a Chinese spy.

The controversy intensified following reports that he had also engaged in an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.

Nvidia's board said it had decided to dismiss Huang the following day after holding emergency meetings beginning on the night of Nov. 11 to discuss his future at the company.

Colette Kress, Nvidia's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent successor.
