Marguerite Whitley is the ex-wife of O. J. Simpson.
When Marguerite Whitley met O. J. Simpson in February of 1967, she had no idea that she would end up being married to one of the most controversial convicts in history.
Their relationship came into being almost by chance as the duo met when O. J.’s friend, Al Cowlings asked him to drop her off at her house. Al Cowlings was dating Marguerite at the time. However, this did not stop Marguerite from succumbing romantically to O. J.’s advances.
Within no time, O. J. and Marguerite started dating. Theirs was a whirlwind romance that inevitably ended up in the two becoming engaged in May of 1967. Their courtship culminated in a plush private wedding in June of 1967. The guest list was extremely exclusive and featured only close family and a few friends.
After about 12 years of marriage, their relationship ended in a divorce initiated by Marguerite after she found out that O. J. was having an affair with a nightclub waitress named Nicole Brown. Their divorce was finalized in March of 1979.
Marguerite and O. J.’s marriage was not characterized by any form of physical assault. In an interview with 20/20, Marguerite said that she was never hit by O. J. during their twelve years of marriage.
