OJ Simpson's Kids, Now 30 and 27, Live Quietly in Florida

Some 21 years after O.J. Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife, the couple's two children are living quietly in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Or at least they were until paparazzi tracked down 30-year-old Sydney Simpson and her 27-year-old brother Justin after the recent FX series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" renewed interest in the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Justin Simpson tells the Tampa Bay Times he loves living in St. Petersburg, where he sells real estate for Coldwell Banker. "It's a great place to live, why not St. Pete?'' he said. "It's gorgeous here.''

His sister moved to the area in 2014 and also works in real estate, but not as an agent. She owns a house and a couple of duplexes in the area. 

The siblings were sleeping when their mother was killed. They moved to Miami with their father after the acquittal and have never publicly discussed the events of the night their mother was murdered.

Acquitted of double murder at his '95 criminal trial but found liable for the deaths of Nicole and Ron Goldman in the '97 civil case, Simpson told the Associated Press at the time that he blamed the media "for convincing the American public I was guilty."

Simpson was convicted of armed robbery in Nevada in 2008 and remains in prison.
