I don't want to gawk over someone else's love life (and their failings). That's none of anyone's business but theirs.

The issue with the first affair is what laws he broke... though I would argue the GPU export restrictions were pointless anyway, and the U.S. feds would be stupid to enforce them now, after they clearly did not work.

As for the second, per their own policy:

https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/en-zz/Solutions/about-us/NVIDIA-Code-of-Conduct-External.pdf

The following types of activities may create a conflict of interest: › Advisory roles or board seat participation › Outside employment or consulting › Self-employment or volunteering (Inventions or app development, speaking or publishing opportunities, teaching or research at a university level or higher, game development) › Investments or personal relationships.

It's not... particularly explicit about this, but it does feel like conflict-of-interest if she reports to Jensen.

I think you've got it backwards. There's no evidence that he broke any laws with the first affair, and no evidence that she was even a spy, so that one could have been just a regular affair.

The new affair potentially opens Nvidia up to lawsuits, so it carries way more financial risk.

Rumors of an affair between Huang and Powell have circulated for years, in part because Powell lacks a background in health or science, according to a former employee who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.

If she got her vice president position more on the basis of being a nice lay for Jensen Huang than because she was qualified for it, that does sound like a potential issue for the company, even aside from the affair itself.
