When O.J. Simpson became the prime suspect in Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder, many wondered whether his relationship with his kids, specifically Sydney and Justin, would shift. Sydney and Justin were Nicole and O.J.’s only biological kids, and during his trial, Nicole’s parents retained custody. Once he was acquitted, O.J. gained access to his kids, but the issue of custody continued as the Brown family fought to keep O.J. away.
O.J. was unhappy with having to convince the legal system that his kids were okay in his care. According to CBS News, O.J. said, “The bottom line is there are people out there who think their opinion of me is going to supersede the well-being of my kids. And my only interest is the well-being of my kids.” Justin and Sydney even wrote emotional letters to convince the judge they’d be better off staying with their father. Years later, Nicole’s family and O.J. developed a better relationship, and ultimately, the football star regained custody of his kids.
As they grew up, Justin and Sydney chose to lead more private lives, even though people are likely curious about what they are doing now. While their relationship with their father may be complex, their aunt, Tanya Brown, told Radar Online in 2019 that they will always have a special place in their heart for their dad. She said, “They will always love their dad. I choose to respect that.”
