- Huang later acknowledged an affair and apologised to staff and family.
- Nvidia’s board opened an independent investigation.

## Summary

Nvidia hired public relations firm Risa Heller Communications to handle press enquiries about chief executive Jensen Huang, after a 2025 report raised questions about his relationship with a former executive at a major Nvidia chip buyer and the buyer’s links to China. The firm is known for advising powerful men facing personal controversies, though it also handles corporate communications; the article does not establish that its initial work for Huang involved his affair.

People familiar with the arrangement said the firm had communicated with Huang and his daughter Madison, an Nvidia marketing director, and was added to responses about both personal and professional matters after the report. Huang later acknowledged a romantic relationship and apologised to his family and Nvidia staff for being unfaithful. Nvidia’s board opened an independent investigation and said it had no reason to believe national security or confidential company information was compromised.
