She was a native of Frankfurt, Germany, but her family later moved to California. At the age of 18, Nicole started working at a Beverly Hills club called The Daisy as a waitress. She met her future husband, former NFL star O.J. Simpson, there. They soon started seeing each other and fell in love. After divorcing his first wife Marguerite Whitley in 1979, O.J. married Nicole Brown Simpson in 1985. Together, they welcomed two kids, a daughter named Sydney and a son, Justin. However, their romance was short lived and she filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." Several reports also suggest that OJ used to hit Nicole and their friends used to help the couple reconcile.
