Where Is Acquitted Murder Suspect Amanda Knox Now? Details on Job, Husband, Child

When Amanda Knox was still behind bars in Italy, jailed for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher, she wrote in a letter to her friend Madison Paxton that “if” she were to be released from prison, she had goals, which included working with the Innocence Project, becoming a translator and having children.

Since returning home back in 2011 after being acquitted, she has made at least two of those dreams come true, after she revealed that she had welcomed a baby daughter in October 2021. Her life looks incredibly different these days, leading critics and curious minds to wonder where she is now.

Where Does Amanda Knox Live Now?

The controversial activist returned to Seattle — where she grew up and lived before going abroad to Italy and her 2007 arrest — after being acquitted and has stayed since.

What Is Amanda Knox's Job?

In the time since she was freed from an Italian prison and acquitted of murder charges, she’s been working with the Innocence Project, which is a non-profit dedicated to putting an end to wrongful convictions — a cause obviously important to Amanda, who was later exonerated by Italy’s highest court in 2015, almost four years after she was acquitted. She was the keynote speaker at a conference about criminal justice hosted by the Innocence Project in Italy in June 2019, her first time back in the country since being released.

In addition to her work with the Innocence Project, Amanda is a journalist and wrote a memoir titled Waiting to Be Heard, which was released in 2013.

Is Amanda Knox Married?

The activist started dating Christopher Robinson, a poet and author of two books, in 2015. The happy couple tied the knot in February 2020. The ceremony, which occurred on Leap Day, was pretty unconventional — the pair's guests wore costumes instead of typical wedding attire.

Christopher also produced Amanda's podcast "The Truth About True Crime with Amanda Knox," which ran for four seasons. The dynamic duo now cohost "Labyrinths," a podcast about people navigating their own personal mazes in life. "Amanda Knox and her partner Christopher Robinson delve into stories of getting lost and found again through compassionate interviews, philosophical rants, and playful debate with fascinating people," reads the show's description.

Amanda Knox Is Surprisingly Public About Her Life

Unlike many other people involved in high profile cases, Amanda has been active not only on social media, but also in the press. In 2016, the Washington native opened up about how she deals with the “trolls” who harass her online since creating social media profiles after her exoneration.

“The automatic assumption is you should be defensive, because obviously people are attacking in a way that is insane and unwarranted and out of context,” she told the Seattle Times. “But the first step toward defending yourself is being vulnerable, and engaging the person who is pointing the finger at you with compassion. Not all trolls are going to be human with you. But the only thing you can do is sit there across from someone and acknowledge that you are a human being, and you aren’t just confined to their definition of you.”

In March 2023, Amanda received major backlash after a tweet of hers went viral. The Washington native gave her opinion after reading a student’s story who hated her experience studying abroad. 

“Girl, what are you talking about? Studying abroad is awesome,” Amanda replied. Social media users were quick to call out the controversial figure on her statement. 

“Her response about studying abroad is given OJ vibes. Not saying either one is guilty or innocent just saying it's a similar vibe,” one user wrote. Meanwhile, another commented, “Poor Meredith's family.”

Two months later, Amanda made headlines again as she appeared on the OnlyFans Roast of Whitney Cummings.

"I'm Amanda Knox and I'm here because this is my last hour of community service," she joked while roasting the comedian. "I used to have nightmares about going back to prison, now I have nightmares about hearing 'bap bap bap.'"

Does Amanda Knox Have an Instagram?

In 2017, Amanda made her Instagram profile public and has since garnered over 113,000 followers. On her social media profile, fans will see tons of photos of her cat, her husband, their travels and promotion for her many projects, including her podcasts.

Does Amanda Knox Have Kids?

In August 2021, Amanda announced she and husband Christopher were expecting their first child together, one month after suffering a miscarriage.

“That’s right, we’re pregnant, and we’ve been recording audio of our own experience since day one,” the Seattle native said on her “Labyrinths” podcast. “Stay tuned for our next mini-series, 280 days, where we take you on an intimate journey from conception to birth.”

On October 22, 2021, Amanda revealed that she had welcomed a baby daughter and revealed her name as well. "I will say I'm excited to not have to keep pretending not to be a mom," the podcaster told The New York Times in an interview, sharing that she and Christopher had chosen the name Eureka for their newborn, who is also the couple's first child together. Taking to Instagram, Amanda shared a mom-daughter photo, which she said "will be the only picture of her I will ever share on social media."

On August 20, 2023, Amanda announced that she and Christoper are expecting their second child. Taking to social media with the caption, "Pregspreading," the podcaster sat casually on a bench and showed off her baby bump.
