died at age 76 after a battle with cancer. He’s remembered for his past in the NFL and his stint in Hollywood – but, he’s most infamous for his 1994 televised police chase in his white Bronco, his 1995 murder trial and subsequent acquittal for killing his ex wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, and his relationship to the Kardashian family.

Before the Kardashians became the most famous family in the world with a reality TV empire, they already had deep ties to the athlete and his late wife.In this 1994 snap, the Kardashian family can be seen with OJ and Nicole during their Easter vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe are all shown smiling.

OJ, Nicole, her sister Dominque Brown, and the Simpson children, Justin and Sydney, are also in the photo. Rounding it out are Kris Jenner and her then-spouse, Caitlyn Jenner.

Nicole would be killed just three months later, in June of that year. Robert Kardashian Sr. was his lawyer — having become friends with Simpson in college — and ultimately got Simpson acquitted, in a controversial ruling that “The View” deemed “an injustice” on Thursday.The families were so close that Khloe even said she grew up calling him “Uncle OJ” and Nicole “Aunt Nicole.” In the documentary “Who Killed Nicole?,” Simpson’s former manager Norman Pardo claimed that Simpson bragged about having an affair with Kris while they were each married to their respective spouses, Nicole and Robert.
