Physically, Simpson stands over six feet tall and has maintained an athletic build shaped by years of training. Weighing approximately 95 kilograms, he has often been noted for his strength and agility, attributes that defined his football career. His personal life, however, has been marked by complexity and controversy.
Simpson married his first wife, Marguerite L. Whitley, in 1967 at the age of 19. The couple had three children together before divorcing in 1979. While still married, Simpson began dating Nicole Brown, whom he later married in 1985 after retiring from football. The couple had two children. Their relationship was troubled by allegations of domestic violence, and Nicole filed for divorce in 1992.
In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were found murdered, and Simpson became the primary suspect. The subsequent criminal trial in 1995, often referred to as the “Trial of the Century,” ended in Simpson being acquitted of all criminal charges. However, a civil court in 1997 found him liable for their wrongful deaths, ordering him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims' families.
While the criminal trial ended in acquittal, the civil court's ruling significantly impacted Simpson's public image and financial standing. Despite the controversies, his legacy as a professional athlete remains part of NFL history, though it is inevitably intertwined with his legal troubles.
