Many Americans will never forget where they were in 1994 when they heard that former NFL star and actor O.J. Simpson was accused of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and restaurant waiter Ron Goldman. The details of their gruesome murders shocked the nation and many were horrified to learn that the slayings actually took place while O.J. and Nicole’s young children were sound asleep in their beds.

Here’s more on their children including how old they are and what they’re up to these days.

How many children O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson had

O.J. had three children from his first marriage to Marguerite Simpson. Their oldest, Arnelle, was born in 1968. Their son, Jason, born in 1970, and they welcomed their youngest daughter, Aaren, in 1977. Tragically, Aaren died just before her second birthday after drowning in the family’s pool.

The ex-Buffalo Bills player had two more kids with his second wife, Nicole. Their first child together, Sydney Brooke Simpson, was born in 1985. Three years later, Nicole gave birth to a son they named Justin Ryan Simpson.

Where are their kids today?

Sydney was just 8 and Justin was 5 when their mother was killed. After their father stood trial and was ultimately acquitted of her murder, the children spent most of their lives out of the spotlight.

E! News noted that Sydney attended Boston University and graduated with a BA in Sociology from the school’s College of Arts and Sciences in May 2010. Today, she lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, and owns her own business called Simspy LLC.

The youngest of Simpson’s children also lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he works as a real estate agent.

“Having a family immersed in hospitality, Justin sets himself apart by dominating customer service and his communication/negotiation skills give his clients the competitive edge,” his biography on the company’s website states. 

Justin is active on social media and often tweets about the real estate market.

Is O.J. Simpson Khloe Kardashian’s father too?

And for anyone still wondering about that rumor that O.J. is Khloé Kardashian’s father, both Simpson and Kris Jenner have denied that.

In 2013, the Kardashian matriarch said there was no truth to the rumors that she had a sexual relationship with the former football star or that he was Khloé’s biological father.

“This is an absolute lie and not true. I have never had an affair with O.J. Simpson,” Jenner told In Touch magazine.

The former running back also shot down the rumors in 2018 when he was congratulated after Khloé announced that she was pregnant with her first child.

“Well, for Bob [Kardashian], God bless his soul, yeah. But I don’t know for me. I don’t think for me. I didn’t have nothing to do with it,” he told TMZ.
“I would be proud … but trust me, I had nothing to do with it.”
