NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to a relationship with a woman suspected of spying for China, infohub.kz reports.

In late October, The New York Times reported that Jensen Huang, head of the technology company NVIDIA, and Alice Huang, head of the Singapore-based company Megaspeed, had a "close relationship." The publication noted that U.S. authorities had raised concerns about Alice Huang's ties to China, suspecting she may have been engaged in espionage in the United States on China's behalf. It was also reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had been briefed on the ambiguous situation facing the head of one of America's largest technology companies.

Axios obtained a letter that Jensen Huang sent to his employees, in which he admitted to cheating on his wife.

"I owe my family and all of you an apology. I cheated on my wife. My actions caused pain to her and to our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry. All my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and devotion. Instead, I let them down and shattered the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and for the pain I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it. To my wife and family: I love you. I know that apologies cannot undo what I did. I hope our family will recover, and that in time I can earn back your trust. To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked with for decades, as well as our board of directors, partners and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me," he wrote.

Jensen Huang said leading NVIDIA is "the privilege of a lifetime." "My duty is to serve you and to be worthy of your trust. I have failed in that duty. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your trust," he said.

Huang also said that NVIDIA's board of directors has launched an independent investigation into the potential national security concerns that may have been raised by the CEO's relationship with the alleged Chinese spy. "I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company, and I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America's national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American," he added.
