O.J. Simpson married Marguerite Whitley in 1967. The two met at Galileo High School in San Francisco when she was dating his best friend, Al “AC” Cowlings. Marguerite and Al “AC” Cowlings were believed to have had some troubles in their relationship, and Cowlings asked his friend O.J Simpson to speak to her.

However, the discussion did not end as intended and Marguerite Whitley broke up with her then-boyfriend and started dating O.J. Simpson who later became her husband for 12 years before she filed for divorce for reasons yet to be known.

The two tied the knot in 1967 when Cowlings was a freshman at USC and Marguerite Whitley was 18. Marguerite Whitley revealed in her 20/20 interview in 1995 which was her last public appearance to Barbara Walters that it was fun marrying O.J. Simpson because they no longer had to answer their parents and they were able to party and be out all night.

A year after their marriage, Marguerite Whitley and O.J. Simpson welcomed their first child, Arnel. In 1970, the couple welcomed their second child, Jason. Nine years after Jason’s birthday, the couple welcomed their third child, Arlen who, unfortunately, drowned in her family’s pool just weeks before her second birthday.

Apparently, as O.J. Simpson’s popularity skyrocketed, so did his infidelity and ego and the challenges that came with it became too much for his first wife Marguerite Whitley which put a strain on their marriage.

In a 1968 interview with Look magazine, Marguerite Whitley described her ex-husband as a beast.
She went on to reveal that she had been aware of his infidelity throughout her marriage. In the mid-1970s, she instructed her lawyer to prepare her divorce papers. Towards the end of the decade, the couple separated once before ending their marriage in 1979.

Her post-divorce life was nothing like a walk in the park. In 1986, she sued him in court for failing to meet his financial obligations but later settled out of court. She married transit leader Rudolf Lewis in 1986 but divorced in 1991. A year later she married furniture dealer Anthony Thomas. It’s not clear if the two are still together as she has continued to maintain her low profile.
