Introduction: What did Jensen Huang say about meeting Lori?

Jensen Huang recalled meeting Lori as a university student, using humour to describe their ages and their time as laboratory partners. The recollection below is his account, in his voice.

1. His recollection

"I met my wife, Lori, when I was 17 years old. I was the youngest kid in school. We were sophomore lab partners. She was 19. An older woman. I beat out 250 other boys in class and won her heart."

2. The speaker and the memory

The words are attributed to Jensen Huang, not to this article's author. The university recollection appears in the published transcript and recording of his 2026 Carnegie Mellon commencement address. It is a personal anecdote, not a statement about NVIDIA's products or business performance. [1,2]

Conclusion: A personal recollection, clearly attributed

The short passage preserves Huang's account of meeting Lori, including his light-hearted description of their age difference and laboratory partnership. It should be read as his recollection, without adding assumptions about anyone's private feelings or present circumstances.
