OJ Simpson’s four adult children, Arnelle, Jason, Sydney, and Justin, visited him before his passing from cancer. The 30 to 50 friends and family members who also visited him were required to sign NDAs and were not allowed to have their phones in the room during the visit. OJ had two children, Arnelle and Jason, with his ex-wife Marguerite Whitley, and they also had a daughter Aaren who tragically died at a young age. He later had two children, Sydney and Justin, with Nicole Brown Simpson before her murder in 1994.
Following the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994, OJ Simpson was acquitted in the highly publicized “trial of the century” the following year. During the trial, Sydney and Justin were taken care of by their grandparents and aunts, but OJ regained custody after his acquittal. While Sydney and Justin have remained private about the tragedy, Arnelle supported her father by testifying for the defense during the trial. She also spoke at his parole hearing in 2007 when he was serving time for armed robbery.
After his release from prison in 2017, OJ Simpson became active on social media and denied rumors that he was in hospice care, despite his prostate cancer diagnosis.

They requested privacy and grace during this time of transition. OJ’s children showed their love and support for their father throughout his life, standing by him during difficult times and testifying on his behalf.
