Justin and Sydney Simpson experienced unspeakable tragedy at a young age.

They were asleep in their beds when their mother Nicole Brown was stabbed to death outside their Brentwood, California, home June 12, 1994. Their father, fallen NFL star O.J. Simpson, was arrested and charged with her murder, and ultimately acquitted in the so-called Trial of the Century.

The disgraced Buffalo Bills running back died Wednesday after a battle with prostate cancer.

So where are the kids now? Both ended up in staying in Florida, after their father relocated them to Kendall in 2000.

These days, the Gulliver Prep grads live near each other, working in real estate around St. Petersburg.

Sydney, who attended Boston University, is now 38, and Justin, an FSU alum, is 35.

Sydney keeps a low profile; her social media is set to private. As for Justin, according to his last public Instagram post, he’s a fairly new father. In February 2022, he shared a sonogram pic announcing he was expecting a baby girl with clothing designer Alycia Browne.

It’s unclear if the couple is still together as he does not appear on her timeline. A few months later, Browne posted a snap of a child’s love seat embroidered with the child’s name, Lana. Her middle name: Nicole.

According to TMZ, Justin and Sydney were at Simpson’s bedside, along with their two half-siblings, Arnelle and Jason, when he died.
