Nov 11 (Reuters) - ⁠Nvidia's board is preparing to ⁠oust CEO Jensen Huang after ‌he had two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy, the ​Wall Street Journal reported ⁠on Wednesday, citing ⁠people familiar with the matter.

The board ⁠is ‌preparing to meet as soon as Wednesday to ⁠determine his future, the report added.

Earlier ​in ‌the day, the New York Times ⁠reported ​that Huang had an extramarital affair with a company executive who ⁠reported to him.

Nvidia did ​not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The reports come days after ⁠Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife, as Nvidia's board investigates whether he was targeted by ​a foreign intelligence ⁠operation.

Nvidia's shares were down about 8% ​in after-hours trading.
