Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, 63, and former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang were photographed together at an Italian restaurant in Singapore in 2023.

The pair were at Ristorante Da Valentino, a now-closed restaurant on Turf Club Road.

Photos and a video from the evening were posted on Instagram on Dec. 7, 2023 by Perla Valtulina, the sister of chef-owner Valentino Valtulina.

Stirred risotto with a glass of wine in hand

In the clip, Jensen holds a glass of wine in one hand as he stirs risotto in a cheese wheel.

The camera pans to Alice, dressed in a white top, who is smiling as she records him on her phone.

As Valtulina explains mantecare, an Italian cooking technique that combines fat and starchy water to give the dish a creamy texture, Jensen jokes that it sounds like Monte Carlo.

“Monte Carlo is a computer science method,” Jensen says, joking that it’s named after the casino in Monaco because it involves chance.

A photo in the same post shows Jensen serving risotto to Valtulina as Alice watches with a hand over her mouth. Text over the photo reads, "Not everyday you have Jansen (sic) serving you pasta."

The restaurant closed later that month after 18 years in business.

It cited high rent and a shortage of staff, The Straits Times (ST) reported.

Also seen together in Taiwan

Reuters verified photos of the pair together at several events, with the earliest dating to December 2023.

They were later photographed at an industry party in Taipei in June 2024 and seen sitting next to each other at a dinner Jensen hosted in Taiwan in May 2025.

On Nov. 8,  Jensen acknowledged having an extramarital affair in a statement to the company.

He did not name Alice. He subsequently stepped down as Nvidia CEO on Nov. 12.

Alice Huang barred from re-entering S’pore

Alice was previously the CEO and chairperson of Megaspeed, a firm incorporated in Singapore.

On Nov. 12, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said police had investigated her in connection with possible false declarations over server purchases.

Police found insufficient evidence to establish that she had committed any offences relating to those declarations.

Police assessed that she had knowingly given them inaccurate information to downplay her role at Megaspeed.

She received a stern warning and was barred from re-entering Singapore. Investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals are ongoing, MHA said.
