Embattled Nvidia boss Jensen Huang has been caught in yet another cheating scandal as the company continues to reel from the revelation that he had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.

Huang, 63, confessed in a memo to his staff on Sunday to carrying out an affair with a Chinese entrepreneur who has been under investigation for allegedly passing information to Beijing.

But five people who worked at the chipmaker have now come forward to tell The New York Times that the billionaire also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.

The two were reportedly captured on video being affectionate at a San Jose, California, hotel during the Nvidia conference in March, two of the sources said.

They were then both in attendance at the Nvidia GTC Conference in Berlin, Germany, at the end of October, though Powell was also seen around the same time flaunting her engagement ring.

The alleged affair would have also violated the company's code of conduct, under which employees are told to 'avoid situations where our actions conflict' including 'personal relationships.' The company also states that it 'promptly investigates reports of misconduct.'

Following the revelation, Nvidia’s shares ⁠were down about eight percent in after-hours trading. The stock has lost more than $300 billion in market ​value since news of the affair with alleged Chinese spy Alice ​Huang broke.

The Nvidia board is now preparing to oust Mr Huang as CEO, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.
