Taiwanese media reveal footage of Jensen Huang and Alice Huang interacting at a Taipei restaurant on May 22, 2025
Taiwanese media outlets including TVBS reported that during Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Taiwan in May 2025, he hosted a business dinner at Taipei’s San Liu Food Restaurant, and Alice Huang (Huang Le) was also present. Related photos and videos show the two interacting closely, including Huang wrapping his arm around her waist and Alice Huang kissing Huang on the cheek. The date matches Huang’s schedule in Taiwan during Computex 2025.
Huang admitted to his employees on November 8, 2026 that he had been unfaithful to his wife. U.S. officials had previously alleged that Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset, and Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation. Reports by The New York Times and others had previously mentioned that the two drank at the same table in a Taipei bar in June 2024. This Taipei restaurant footage was republished by Taiwanese media after the incident gained traction.

ABAB AI Insight
This footage comes from a restaurant event during Huang’s visit to Taiwan in May 2025 to attend Computex. At the time, Huang met with Taiwan’s supply-chain companies in Taipei, and public reporting focused on the "Jensanity" fan effect and business dinners with executives from TSMC and others. Details of Alice Huang appearing at the same event were emphasized again by Taiwanese media after the incident came to light in November 2026.
A The New York Times report in October 2025 had mentioned that the two drank at the same table in a Taipei bar in June 2024. The May 2025 footage is linked to the previously public timeline of events. The U.S. officials’ description of Alice Huang as an intelligence asset and Huang’s admission of infidelity are separate matters. Nvidia’s board investigation is ongoing, and it has not yet been disclosed whether its specific scope includes earlier public events.
The footage of their interaction released by Taiwanese media changes the visible record of their public contact. The observation point is whether the independent investigation will include the related public activities in its review, and whether more contemporaneous videos or photos will be further verified.

Footage showing physical contact during public events can be reinterpreted as intimate interaction after later developments unfold.
Media replaying historical video after an incident is exposed does not mean there was already a public conclusion at the time.
