SOUTH-EAST ASIA (VnExpress/Vietnam News): A video of former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dancing with his wife, Lori, has resurfaced and sparked debate over their relationship following his admission of infidelity and resignation.
An X account reposted the 26-second clip on Nov. 12, showing the couple dancing at an employee appreciation event held at the Taipei Music Center in Taiwan on June 3.
In the footage, Huang places one hand around Lori's waist while holding her other hand as they dance. Lori repeatedly looks at her husband affectionately, while he appears more focused on the stage and rarely returns her gaze, according to The Blast.
The video initially circulated widely in June, with many viewers interpreting it as a glimpse of the couple's happy marriage. However, following revelations about Huang's extramarital relationships, social media users have revisited the footage with a different perspective.
Many commenters interpreted Huang's body language as suggesting emotional distance, contrasting his wife's affectionate expressions with his seemingly detached demeanor.
Some suggested the couple appeared to be at different stages of life. "He is winding up, and she is winding down," one user wrote.
Others drew comparisons between their appearances, describing Huang as youthful while pointing to visible signs of aging in Lori. Such remarks prompted criticism from users who argued that a woman's changing appearance should not be used to justify her husband's infidelity.
"Men cheating is their own choice; you cannot blame the wife because her looks changed over time," another commenter said.
Huang and Lori met while studying at Oregon State University and married in 1985. She supported him through the early years of his career, well before he co-founded Nvidia in 1993, and has largely stayed out of the public spotlight.
Several viewers expressed sympathy for Lori, encouraging her to distance herself from the controversy and enjoy a peaceful life.
The video has drawn renewed attention following Huang’s admission of an affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy. He also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, according to The New York Times.
On Nov. 8, Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation into potential national security concerns surrounding the reported relationships.
Four days later, the company announced Huang's resignation as CEO and board member. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress was named interim CEO, while Harvey C. Jones took over as board chairman. -- VnExpress-Vietnam News
