Should I report him to his wife that he is cheating on her? - NoCV

There is one issue that has been troubling my mind lately and I really need advice from this community. A very kind lady in my church helped me secure a job recently. She is someone I respect so much because she is humble and always ready to assist others. The job she got me was as her husband’s secretary. I was very happy at first because I saw it as a blessing, not just for me but also for my family. On my first day of resumption, her husband gave me an agreement to sign which was an NDA. I signed it without even thinking too much because I felt it was a normal office procedure. With time, as I settled into the job, I started noticing some things that left me very uncomfortable. I found out that my boss, the same man I now work closely with, is cheating on his wife. This revelation has been bothering me because his wife was the one who helped me get this opportunity in the first place. I shared my worries with a close friend, and she told me something that made me even more confused. She said that if I had discovered the affair outside the office, the NDA would not cover it and I could freely tell the wife. But since I got to know about it while working as his secretary, then the NDA covers it and I have no right to expose him. Now my conscience is not at peace. I feel like keeping quiet is betraying the woman who trusted me, but at the same time I am scared of losing my job or even facing legal problems. Do you think it is unprofessional of me to report him to his wife or should I just mind my business?
