He met his first wife at Galileo High School in San Francisco. Though there is no exact information on the year they met; it is known that Al “ AC” Cowlings, the then-boyfriend of Marguerite had requested his help in settling their issue.

When Simpson talked with Marguerite, they fell for each other. Little did they know that their short discussion will blossom into love. Marguerite broke up with her then-boyfriend Cowlings at the age of 16.

When 19 years old Simpson was a freshman at USC, he decided to marry his girlfriend Marguerite on June 24, 1967. Marguerite was only 18 at the time of their marriage.

Within few years of their marriage, problems crept into their marital life and they couldn't stay together. There was love lost between the former love-birds and they decided to divorce each other in 1978. Their divorce was finalized in 1979. 

 

When Simpson started gaining popularity for his NFL skills, he started becoming egoistic, infidel and maniacal. In 1968 interview with Look magazine, Marguerite claimed that Simpson was being unfaithful in their marriage.

She stated in an interview, 

"He was a beast. He was pretty horrible. If there were other fellows who wanted to talk to girls, he'd make them stay away. He'd been a terrible person, right on the edge of trouble."

Though Marguerite claimed that there wasn't physical altercation between her and Simpson; then LAPD officer Jim King had found evidence of physical abuse and altercation in their home in West Los Angeles. Simpson's fame and popularity led to their breakup. 

He fathered three children with Marguerite: Arnelle l. Simpson (born in 1968), Jason L. Simpson (born in 1970 and Aaren Lashone Simpson (1977-1979). Aaren died in 1979 due to drowning in a family swimming pool in family's Rockingham estate, just before his second birthday.

Before his marriage ended in divorce with Marguerite, Simpson was seeing Nicole Brown. Brown was working as a waitress in a restaurant. The pair fell in love and decided to tie the knot on February 2, 1985. 

 

The couple had a stormy and problematic marital life. Their marriage lasted for seven years. Though, they became parents of two children: Sydney Brooke Simpson (born in 1985) and Justin Ryan (born in 1988); they couldn't find love in their relationship.

Nicole complained with her friend and family about his abusive behavior many times. Once, during a 1989 New Year's Eve celebration, Simpson threatened to kill her after their dispute.

They were constantly arguing against each other. It is even reported that Nicole had to endure spousal abuse from Simpson, many a time. The police had to pay a visit to their home to solve their domestic disputes. 

Simpson pled no contest to charges of 'spousal battery' and assault against his wife Nicole. After being unable to live together; they filed for divorce in 1992; citing 'irreconcilable differences'. They again tried to patch things up post-separation in 1993 but to no success. 

It is widely claimed that their relationship was tumultuous since their marriage, but they were head over heels in love with each other; when they were dating.
