How many children does OJ Simpson have?

Orenthal James Simpson had five children.

The former athlete, who died in April 2024 at the age of 76, fathered them across a 20-year period from two different women, Marguerite Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson.

In 1994, Simpson was arrested and charged with the murder of Nicole, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
