Early life and education

Keisha is quite secretive when it comes to her personal matters, and she doesn’t have any social media accounts (at least not under her name) thus it was hard to find out when she celebrates her birthday, and so what her zodiac sign is.

However, we know that she was born in 1970, in London, a city in Madison County, Ohio USA. She holds American nationality and her ethnicity is African-American. As of October 2022, she’s aged 52.

Raised in a middle-class family by her parents alongside two older brothers, Keisha dreamed of a better life for herself; she wanted to be a model, and her idol was Naomi Campbell.

Upon matriculating from high school in 1988, she moved to New York City, USA and after being rejected by various modeling agencies, she made a decision that she would become an agent instead a model.

Relationship and wedding

In the early ’90s, Keisha was working as a model agent, and fate set up a meeting with a young, aspiring model, Justin Chambers. They were working together during the campaign for Calvin Klein, and eventually started a relationship.

The two exchanged their wedding vows in 1993, and since they both prefer to keep their private lives under wraps, they haven’t shared the exact wedding date, and the location is also secret. The ceremony was held in presence of their closest family members and friends.

Age, Early Life, and Education Background

Justin Ryan Simpson is a native of Los Angeles, California, and was born under the Leo zodiac sign on 6 August 1988, which makes him 34 years old as of 2022. He had a rough childhood because he lost his mother, who was an actress, model, and waitress when he was barely five years old. From his parents’ union, Ryan has a sister, Sydney Brooke Simpson, who was born in 1985. Moreover, he has three half-siblings from his dad’s previous union with Marguerite L. Whitley, who are Aaren Lashone Simpson (born in 1977), Jason L. Simpson (born in 1970), and Arnelle L. Simpson who was born in 1968. Sadly, he never met Arnelle since she drowned in the family pool in August 1979 when she was one and a half years old.

Ryan spent most of his childhood (together with his sister, Sydney Simpson) with his paternal grandparents, Eunice and Jimmy Lee Simpson, and also some of their childhoods with their maternal grandparents, Juditha A. Brown and Louis Hezekiel, who shielded them from the media when their father faced a murder trial in 1994 and 1995. Hezekiel sadly passed away in 2014.

Ryan went to Gulliver Preparatory School, located in Pinecrest, Florida, and matriculated to Florida State University, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Small Business and Entrepreneurial Operations in 2010.

Personal Life

Justin is a very secretive person who never talks about his dating life. He’s presumed to be single as of 2022, has never married and doesn’t have children. He still lives in St. Petersburg.

Controversy

Five days after the murder of his mother on 12 June 1994, Ryan’s father attempted to evade arrest and engaged the police in a low-speed pursuit. His mother’s death and the possible crime by O.J. shook the U.S. and the whole world – the 1994 NBA Finals were even interrupted to broadcast live happenings of the pursuit, which was watched by over 95 million people. His trial spanned almost a year and was watched by over 100 million people, many describing it as ‘The Trial of the Century.’ Ultimately, O.J. was acquitted of the two murders, which appeared to divide Americans along racial grounds. Most Afro-American citizens believed that he was innocent and celebrated the court’s verdict, whereas Caucasian and Latino people were convinced that he was guilty.

The trials and whole incident remain controversial, and have even been the subject of various books including “Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted,” which was written by Mike Walter and Faye Resnick in October 1994. A few years after the trial (1997), his late ex-wife’s friend’s father filed a lawsuit, and Simpson was found responsible for the two deaths – the victims’ families were awarded compensatory damages that totaled $33.5 million. However, O.J. was unable to pay the amount, so most of his assets (including his Heisman Trophy) were auctioned off to pay for the damages.

O.J. Simpson was later charged with kidnapping, armed robbery, and other crimes in 2008, and was found guilty and sentenced to 33 years; he was released in 2017 after he became eligible for parole.

Height, Weight, and Physical Appearance

Justin is of mixed Afro-American roots from his father’s side, and German from his Caucasian mother’s; he has black hair and a set of dark brown eyes. He is 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighs approximately 190lbs (86kgs).

Net Worth

Ryan has earned a good sum from his multiple business endeavors, and is reputedly worth approximately $3 million as of 2022. He owns several properties including a $250,000 three-bedroomed house – he is also reported to have a fleet of high-end vehicles. His father is reputedly still worth around $3 million.
