Who is OJ Simpson’s daughter, Sydney?
SYDNEY Simpson has been in the spotlight since she was born, thanks to the high-profile marriage of her parents, OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown.
But since the 1995 trial, in which Simpson was acquitted, Sydney has retreated from the public eye and has reportedly been living on the down-low in Florida.
Who is OJ Simpson's daughter, Sydney?

Sydney used to be in the limelight because of her parents, but she has notably laid low since Nicole's death in 1994.
Sydney was only nine years old when her mother died, and she was reportedly sleeping in their family home when Nicole, along with her friend, Ron Goldman, was fatally slashed outside the residence.
She and her brother, Justin, were taken into the care of their grandparents, Louis H. Brown and Juditha Brown.
Sydney tried to keep herself under the radar after the trial and lived a normal life.
She reportedly graduated from Boston University with a degree in sociology and proceeded to start her own business.
Apart from co-owning a restaurant with Justin, she manages multiple properties in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she now resides.
