Marguerite Whitney is Currently Based in Fresno California; What is She Up To?

After Marguerite’s divorce from O.J Simpson, she managed to stay away from the spotlight and kept a very low profile. Notwithstanding, she made notable court appearances in 1995 when her ex-husband was charged with the murder of his second wife Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman.

Marguerite became his avid supporter and even took a few interviews in his defense but after his conviction, she became overly private. She turned down several interviews related to the case as well as taking part in documentaries that captured O.J’s arrest, trial, and subsequent acquittal.

Nonetheless, the mother of 3 had a normal life behind the media. She remarried twice and was last photographed by paparazzi around Fresno, California while shopping in March 2018. The said location according to reports is also where she lives and has a property listed under her name.

Marguerite also forged a career as an interior designer to support her children’s welfare. She previously worked for Walmart back in the day. But her career was overshadowed by the success of O.J.’s football journey as well as his on-screen performances.

Marguerite Whitney’s Marriage to O.J. Simpson Lasted for 12 Years

As you would easily find, Marguerite Whitney and O.J Thompson were previously married until 1978. Known to be high school sweethearts, the pair first met while schooling at Galileo High School and soon started a friendship that blossomed into a relationship in 1965.

After dating for a while, the pair proceeded to get married on June 24, 1967, in a ceremony witnessed by their friends and family. Two years into the marriage, O.J got drafted into the NFL and gained worldwide recognition thereafter.

The pair enjoyed many years of marital bliss which saw the birth of their 3 children; Arnelle L. Simpson,55, Jason Lamar Simpson, 54, and Aaren Lashon Simpson who tragically died on August 18, 1979.

Unfortunately, trouble began to brew in their marriage leading up to their separation in 1987 and divorce in 1989 which has been linked to a number of reasons including O.J’s celebrity status, ego, and infidelity.

Marguerite’s ex-husband once stated that ‘the price of fame was our biggest problem’ in relation to the breakdown of their marriage. Obviously, Marguerite was a private person who had to deal with the growing fame and popularity of her husband’s successful career.

Another reason for their divorce was O.J’s affair with Nicole Brown; a waitress who later became his second wife.

O.J. Simpson’s Ex-wife Remarried Twice; Is She Still Married?

As hinted above, O.J Simpson’s ex-wife remarried twice. Her next marriage was to Rudolf Lewis; a transit supervisor whom she met in San Francisco. They dated for a while and then got married on July 9th,1986.

Marguerite and Rudolf were together for 5 years until their marriage hit the rock leading up to a divorce that was finalized on the 3rd of April 1991.

She moved on to a third marriage with a furniture salesman known as Anthony Thomas on April 3rd, 1992. While our digging has not revealed the status of her marriage to her third husband, we presume that she is probably still married to him since no reports of divorce have surfaced.

What is Marguerite Whitley’s Net Worth?

Jukebugs estimates Marguerite at $500,000 thousand which can be linked to her career as an interior designer and Walmart’s employee of many years. While this remains a guestimated figure and not the true value of her wealth, it’s important to add that she was given an impressive divorce settlement and $1,500 in monthly child support.

However, following the legal issues her husband suffered, he lost most of his net worth which was estimated at $3 million. Consequently, Marguerite sued him for an outstanding payment of $26 000 from their divorce settlement in 1981. The case was settled in 1986 but the outcome was never revealed.

According to statistics, over 50% of American marriages end in divorce and Marguerite’s two marriages have suffered the same fate. Though no information about her third marriage to Anthony Thomas has been heard, we presume that they are still together and probably having a great life together in Fresno, California.
