Story highlights

Jensen Huang had admitted to having an affair and apologised to his family. He was in Paris at the end of October for Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference. Photos show him with his wife, Lori Huang. FBI has initiated an investigation into the Chinese spy allegations.

Just over a week before Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair, he was in Paris with his wife, Lori and daughter, Madison. The latter uploaded photos of their time in the city on LinkedIn, where they were for Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, also known as the "Superbowl of AI." During the event in late October, the family took some time off work and smiled for pictures in the French capital.

Jensen can be seen posing with his wife Lori, whom he has been married to for 41 years, in front of the Palais-Royal, near the Louvre Museum in Paris. Madison and Lori can be seen in one photo posing with rose bouquets in front of a map of the world. Madison wrote, "Europe's AI economy is in full swing - incredible startups, AI applications and robots - the energy was insane. Our two-week whirlwind GTC trip across Stockholm, Paris, London, Berlin and Astana comes to a close."

Jensen admitted to the Nvidia board on Sunday that he was unfaithful to his wife. "My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust," Jensen wrote in a memo.
