It's not especially newsworthy that there are rumours a CEO is having an (apparently entirely consensual) affair with one of his employees. It becomes newsworthy if he's also been having an affair with a Chinese spy.
I don't think you can easily run "Jensen Huang had an intimate relationship with [an] employee, according to two people familiar with the matter" unless it's clearly a matter of public interest, which it becomes when it's apparently more than one and on the heels of the other story.
Alleged spy. That totally unsubstantiated claim from anonymous sources could as easily be a financially or politically motivated smear as the truth. The way the whole thing has turned into a media circus makes me skeptical to take any of it at face value.
