Kimberly Powell and Jensen Huang Relationship Allegation Remains Unconfirmed

An alleged relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell remained publicly unconfirmed on November 12, 2026, as Le Monde covered claims first reported by The New York Times a day earlier.

The reporting concerns an alleged relationship between the chief executive and an executive who reports to him. Le Monde also described both as married to other people. That marital status is reported information, not a direct public confirmation from Powell.

According to Reuters’ account of the Times report , the newspaper cited five people who worked at Nvidia. Reuters attributed the allegation to the Times rather than presenting it as independently verified.

What the Reporting Establishes

The Times reported that two people described a recording of Huang and Powell being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during Nvidia’s GTC conference in March 2026. The newspaper said it had not seen the alleged video.

That distinction matters: accounts describing a recording are not the same as an authenticated recording reviewed by reporters. Subsequent coverage tracing back to the Times does not itself constitute separate confirmation.

Reuters said Nvidia had not immediately responded to its request for comment. The Times reportedly received no comment from Nvidia, and Powell did not respond. Nonresponse does not establish the allegation’s accuracy.

Powell’s Documented Nvidia Role

Nvidia’s official biography identifies Powell as vice president of healthcare, responsible for its worldwide healthcare business. Her work covers computing platforms used in medical imaging, life sciences, drug discovery, and healthcare analytics.

She joined Nvidia in 2008, initially working to establish its graphics processors as an accelerator platform for medical imaging, according to the company.

The biography documents her professional responsibilities, not her marital status. As of November 12, the central unresolved issue remains whether the relationship allegation can be independently substantiated.
