Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has been the subject of numerous headlines over the past few days due to news of an extramarital affair, but new reports show that he began working with a crisis PR firm known for handling such scandals last year.
The company in question was Heller, a public relations firm founded by Risa Heller, which has handled Huang’s behind-the-scenes communications since at least October 2025, according to a WIRED report.
Much has happened in the market in the period since they reportedly began working together, and with the recent volatility, Nvidia stock has fallen below its early October 2025 levels. Indeed, the shares are trading at $178.67 on November 10, 2026, down from $187.62 on October 2, last year.

In other words, a $1,000 investment in Nvidia would have lost 4.77%, falling to approximately $952.3 and marking a loss of $47.7. A $10,000 investment would be worth $9,523 after a loss of $477.
Jensen Huang’s affair might go deeper than previously thought
Heller has established a reputation for advising powerful individuals facing allegations of sexual misconduct and similar controversies. After all, her former clients and people who have sought her counsel include the likes of ex-congressman Anthony Weiner, who was implicated in a sexting scandal.
Huang reportedly began appearing publicly in 2024 with a woman identified as Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based chip buyer Megaspeed, established in 2023, several months after Washington introduced restrictions on semiconductor exports to China.
In October 2025, Huang’s connections to Megaspeed and his relationship with Alice attracted public scrutiny following a New York Times report. The investigation alleged that the U.S. Commerce Department was examining whether Megaspeed had helped Chinese companies circumvent American export restrictions through its subsidiaries.
The report reportedly caused tensions within Nvidia’s senior leadership. By the end of October, the company’s internal communications teams had been instructed to involve Heller in all media inquiries concerning the CEO. However, it remains unclear whether Heller’s initial engagement involved the alleged affair.
