OJ Simpson has been spotted spending Thanksgiving on a Florida beach with his two children from murdered wife Nicole Brown.

OJ dined with 30-year-old Justin Simpson and 33-year-old Sydney Simpson at a waterfront seafood bar and grill in Tierra Verde, just outside St Petersburg, on Friday afternoon.

It is the first time that OJ, 71, has been photographed with Justin and Sydney since they were young children. Justin now works as a realtor in St Petersburg, where Sydney also lives and owns several rental properties, working as a property manager.

OJ was granted permission to travel for the Thanksgiving get-together by the Department of Corrections in Nevada, where he was paroled in July 2017 after serving nine years of a 33-year prison sentence.

The Nevada Department of Corrections granted OJ an out of state travel permit for November 17 to 24, which means he'll have to return to Nevada by Sunday, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

"While in Florida, Mr. Simpson is required to adhere to his parole conditions and remain in contact with his parole officer in Nevada," Florida Department of Corrections spokesman Patrick Manderfield told the newspaper.

Among the conditions of Simpson's parole are that he not drink alcohol "to excess," he said.

However, that didn't to stop Simpson from drinking what appeared to be a tropical cocktail garnished with a lime and strawberry while strolling on the beach Friday.

OJ, a Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL star, was famously acquitted of murdering wife Nicole.

She was stabbed to death alongside her friend Ron Goldman at her Los Angeles home in 1994.

Justin and Sydney, both under age 10 at the time of the murders. were caught in a five year-custody battle between Nicole's mother and OJ after the crime.

Following OJ's acquittal, their grandmother finally allowed them to move with him to St Petersburg, where they grew up.

OJ also had three children from his first marriage, one of whom accidentally drowned in a pool at a young age.
