Amanda Knox Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 2 With Husband
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Amanda Knox's family is expanding once again.
The writer and podcaster announced she's expecting her second child with husband Christopher Robinson, showing off her growing baby belly in an Instagram photo Aug. 20. In the image, Amanda—clad in a green patterned jumpsuit—sat on a bench with her legs spread apart as she kicked back with a bottle of Topo Chico sparkling water.
She captioned the humorous snap, "Pregspreading."
When a fan asked in the comments section if the post was a throwback to her previous pregnancy with daughter Eureka, who was born in 2021, the 36-year-old replied, "New!"
The baby news comes nearly 12 years after Amanda was released from an Italian prison following her wrongful conviction for the 2007 murder of roommate Meredith Kercher, for which she and ex Raffaele Sollecito spent almost four years behind bars.
Amanda previously said she was worried about the headlines her motherhood journey would cause, telling The New York Times months after Eureka's arrival, "I'm still nervous about the paparazzi bounty on her head."
"I will say I'm excited to not have to keep pretending not to be a mom," she said in profile. "'Cause it's like, my brain is just there."
And ever since becoming a parent, the activist—who married Christopher in 2018—has made it her top priority to shield her daughter from the negative attention she once endured in the spotlight.
"Since my exoneration, I've struggled to reclaim my identity and protect the people I love from being exploited as tabloid content," she wrote in an October 2021 Instagram post. "It's not easy, and I often feel like I'm trying to invent good choices out of bad whole cloth."
She added at the time, "I know that I cannot 100% protect my daughter from the kind of treatment I've suffered, but I'm doing the best I can."
