NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang has issued a public apology to his family and colleagues, admitting to being unfaithful to his wife. The statement comes as NVIDIA’s Board of Directors launches an independent investigation into reported national security concerns.

On November 8, 2026, Jensen sent a message to NVIDIA employees addressing both his personal actions and the concerns surrounding the company.

In a statement published on NVIDIA’s official Newsroom titled A Message to Our Company, Jensen admitted that he had been unfaithful to his wife and acknowledged the impact his actions had on his family.

“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,” Jensen wrote.

He also took full responsibility for what happened, saying that his family deserved honesty and loyalty. Jensen expressed hope that, in time, he could rebuild their trust and help his family heal.

Jensen Addresses NVIDIA Employees and Shareholders

Jensen also addressed NVIDIA employees, board members, business partners, and shareholders, acknowledging that he had fallen short of the responsibilities that come with leading the company.

He reaffirmed his commitment to NVIDIA and said he would work to regain the trust and confidence of those he works with.

“Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life,” Jensen said, recognizing the responsibility that comes with his position as CEO.

NVIDIA Board Launches Independent Investigation

Aside from his personal apology, Jensen also addressed national security concerns raised in recent news reports involving the company.

NVIDIA’s Board of Directors confirmed on November 8 that it had initiated an independent investigation. The investigation will be handled by a committee of independent directors with assistance from outside legal counsel.

Jensen said he supports the investigation and will fully cooperate with the process. He also reiterated his commitment to protecting NVIDIA and supporting US national security.

According to the company’s statement, there is currently no reason to believe that national security or company secrets have been compromised.

Jensen Asks for Privacy for His Family

Jensen ended his message by reiterating that his family should not be held responsible for his personal decisions. He also asked the public to respect their privacy as they deal with the situation.

While the personal apology has drawn attention, the independent investigation is another matter that could put NVIDIA’s leadership under scrutiny.

For now, NVIDIA has confirmed that the investigation is underway, while Jensen has committed to cooperating fully.
