Jensen Huang has resigned from his leadership roles at Nvidia, the company's board has announced.
Huang had been the company's chief executive, president and a member of its board.
29 October: The New York Times first reports Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a "close relationship" with Alice Huang, who it says US officials allege is a Chinese spy.
8 November: Jensen Huang admits to having an affair and apologises for being unfaithful to his wife, although he does not say who the other person was. Nvidia’s board of directors begins an independent investigation.
9 November: US President Donald Trump says the FBI is investigating. Beijing publicly rejects the spying allegations as a smear.
11 November: The New York Times reports that Jensen Huang had been involved in what it describes as another extramarital relationship, this time with an Nvidia executive who reports to him. Nvidia’s board reportedly holds a meeting to discuss the CEO’s future.
12 November: Jensen Huang resigns as CEO. Colette Kress, the company’s chief financial officer, is appointed interim CEO.
The fallout from Jensen Huang's personal life and subsequent resignation puts the Trump administration in an extremely difficult place politically.
President Trump has repeatedly stood by Huang, and earlier this week suggested that Huang might be able to remain in his position.
But beyond the alleged affairs and Huang's resignation, the wider issues that have come to light this week have the potential to reach far into the Oval Office and the uppermost levels of American political power.
Even before Huang's resignation, Democrats on Capitol Hill were accusing the administration of being "too deferential" to Nvidia, and of endangering US national security to sell advanced Nvidia H200 chips to China at Huang's urging.
At the centre of this debate is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who reportedly clashed with other administration officials - including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent - over the export controls.
Democrats may expect him to come testify before Congress about the matter, which could become a potentially embarrassing moment for the White House.
It's still not clear when exactly Trump was informed of the issue and what he was told, but he is likely to face mounting questions about why Huang was allowed to remain in such close proximity to the administration once he knew.
