The report came as Nvidia confirmed Huang’s resignation following reports of other extramarital relationships.

The latest revelation raised further questions about the circumstances surrounding his departure and the company’s handling of the situation. Reuters did not identify the employee involved in the latest reported relationship.

The news agency said attempts to reach the woman were unsuccessful.

Nvidia declined to comment, while Huang, the employee identified in other reports, and a representative for Nvidia’s board did not respond to requests for comment.

The reports follow earlier coverage of Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence officials reportedly suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence.

China has rejected the espionage allegations as unsubstantiated.

The New York Times also reported a relationship between Huang and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, who reportedly reported directly to him.

The Reuters report concerns another employee and does not identify that person. The relationships should therefore not be conflated or attributed to a named individual without further confirmation.

Huang resigned as Nvidia’s president, CEO and a member of its board, effective immediately, ending a 33-year tenure at the chipmaker he co-founded in 1993.

Under his leadership, Nvidia evolved from a maker of graphics processors for video games into a dominant supplier of chips and systems used in artificial intelligence computing.

His departure has raised questions about the company’s leadership succession and the potential implications for the wider AI industry.

Nvidia appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while its board searches for a permanent replacement.
