Fact Check: Was Jensen Huang’s wife Lori spotted holding hands with another man in Paris?

WASHINGTON, DC: A rumor is circulating online about Lori Huang, the wife of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. An X user shared a 15-second clip allegedly showing her walking hand in hand with an unidentified man on a Paris street.

The video surfaced amid controversy surrounding Jensen Huang in November 2026, following reports of alleged extramarital affairs and concerns about possible links to a Chinese intelligence investigation. Is this video real?

Claim: Lori Huang spotted holding hands with a man

The video allegedly showing Lori Huang holding hands with an unidentified man quickly went viral on social media. The 15-second nighttime street clip shows a woman believed to be Lori Huang walking closely beside the man while holding his hand and linking arms with him for much of the footage.

At one point, she raises her hand and waves towards the camera, while the man, who wears a red McDonald's-logo cap, partially shields his face. Their actions give the impression that they noticed someone recording them and wanted to discourage the filming.

The X post accompanying the video carried the caption, “Lori Huang, wife of @nvidia CEO @JensenHuang, was reportedly spotted in Paris holding hands with an unidentified man.” The short clip sparked widespread discussion online, with several users questioning the identity of the man wearing the McDonald's cap.

One user asked, “Who is the McD guy?” Another commenter questioned the video's authenticity, writing, “It’s AI at its best; besides, she is still married, and two wrongs never make a right. I pray she finds healing, the courage to forgive, and peace. It’s her life, her marriage, and her right to choose 🥰.”

Fact Check: The claim is false

The video is fabricated. The claim about Lori Huang appearing in the viral Paris video appears to be misattributed. However, reports about Jensen Huang's admission of infidelity and his reported resignation have attracted significant media attention.

Further reports also alleged relationships between Jensen Huang and Nvidia employees, including Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of healthcare. Some media coverage also mentioned the possibility of another relationship.

On November 12, 2026, reports stated that Nvidia's board had accepted Huang's resignation as president, CEO, and board member after 33 years with the company. CFO Colette Kress reportedly took over as interim CEO, while the board appointed its first chair. Nvidia's shares also fell following the announcement.

However, searches of credible news reports have found no reliable evidence identifying Lori Huang as the woman in the viral Paris video or linking her to crypto personality Jeremy Cahen, also known as Pauly0x.

Media coverage of Lori Huang has mainly focused on her long marriage to Jensen, which began in 1985, her engineering background at Oregon State University, and her role in managing their family foundation. Their two children also reportedly work at Nvidia.

The video's satirical news-style presentation, lack of credible sources, and rapid circulation on social media raise questions about its authenticity.

These details suggest that the footage may be fabricated, misattributed, or AI-generated to attract attention by exploiting the controversy surrounding Jensen Huang.

No credible media outlet has independently verified the identities of the people shown in the clip. Lori Huang has also not publicly commented on the allegations surrounding her husband.
