Sydney Brooke Simpson's biography

Sydney was born on 17 October 1985 in Los Angeles, California. She is 38 years old as of 2023. Brooke is the daughter of the former National Football League (NFL) player OJ Simpson and his late ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson.

After her parents' divorce, Sydney and her younger brother Justin Ryan lived with their mother in her Brentwood home in Los Angeles until the time of her death.

Sydney and her brother suffered at the hands of the unbecoming press following the gruesome murder of their mother alongside her friend Ron Goldman at her home on 12 June 1994.

Sydney was eight years old, and her brother, Justin, was only five years old at the time of the ordeal. But the kids' tribulations did not end there. In fact, their mother's brutal death led to even more hardship for the family.

The children had to deal with the pain of losing their mother and watching their father, OJ Simpson, go through a serious legal process after being accused of being their mother's killer. OJ's trial was highly publicised and labelled The Trial of the Century.
