Unless he has been up front with the board from the beginning about his affair, he has done something wrong.
This is Jensen Huang we are talking about. One of the most significantly influential people on earth, one of the planet’s most obvious espionage and blackmail targets, someone who both companies and nations will be spying on, and he is shagging a foreign national in secret.
Even if he has enlisted no company employees in his deception of his wife, this is remarkably negligent behaviour on a professional level. Just enormous.
Be serious: this is a huge deal and they are for sure looking at his conduct.

To defend him: he should be able to "shag" anyone he likes in secret, no matter the nationality. The question is whether he offered any confidential information in the process. To me this rather looks like some finance and law bros are attempting to oust him now that his company is the most valuable in the world.

Offered isn’t the standard, is it? Were his devices hacked? Was he bugged? Has he been compromised in other ways that might make him a further blackmail target?
If this was any other high value C suite employee, Nvidia would fire them for negligence.

"initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
They are investigating a situation where their CEO was the target of an Op - that's totally reasonable and doesn't remotely hint that he has done something wrong.
This is the right thing for the board to do: "We are investigating the situation because we have been informed that foreign actors may have targeted our staff".
