00:00 Amanda Knox reveals she's pregnant with baby number two. The writer and podcaster who married
00:05 husband Christopher Robinson in 2018 makes the announcement in a funny post to Instagram.
00:10 Amanda shares this image showing her sitting on a backyard bench in a dotted jumpsuit.
00:15 She holds a bottle of sparkling water while her growing baby bump steals the spotlight.
00:20 Making fun of the way she's posed, Knox notes in the caption that she's calling this stance
00:24 "preg-spreading" and tags the Oxford English Dictionary in case they want to add the word
00:28 to their list. When a fan asks in the comments if the post is a throwback to her previous pregnancy
00:34 with her and Christopher's daughter Eureka, who was born in 2021, the 36-year-old replies,
00:39 "No," confirming she's got baby number two on the way.
00:42 The news comes nearly 12 years after Amanda was released from an Italian prison following her
00:48 wrongful conviction for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kircher. Both Amanda and her
00:54 ex-boyfriend Rafael Solicito spent almost four years behind bars in relation to the case. Rudy
01:00 Guede was ultimately convicted of the murder. He was released from prison in November 2021
01:05 after completing 13 years of a 16-year sentence. Shortly after, he gave an interview to The Sun's
01:11 Nick Pisa, apologizing to the Kircher family and telling the outlet, "The court convicted me of
01:16 being an accessory to murder purely because my DNA was there, but the legal documents say others
01:22 were there and that I did not inflict the fatal wounds." When asked if he was referring to Knox
01:27 and her ex-lover, who were both cleared of murder, he said, "I don't want to say anything other than
01:31 she should read the documents. As I told you, they say others were there and that I did not
01:36 inflict the stab wounds. I know the truth and she knows the truth." In response to the interview,
01:41 Knox's husband took to Twitter and slammed Pisa and his interview subject. Robinson tweeted at
01:46 the time, "Leave it to Nick Pisa, who made his career off of vilifying Amanda Knox,
01:51 to give a platform to and amplify the lies of Rudy Guede, who without a doubt killed Meredith
01:56 Kircher. This is cruel to Amanda as well as the Kircher family. All for a few clicks. Shame."
02:01 After welcoming her first child, Amanda has made it a top priority to shield their daughter from
02:07 the negative attention she endured in the spotlight. She wrote in an October 2021 Instagram
02:12 post, "Since my exoneration, I've struggled to reclaim my identity and protect the people I love
02:17 from being exploited as tabloid content. It's not easy, and I often feel like I'm trying to
02:22 invent good choices out of bad whole cloth." She added at the time, "I know that I cannot 100%
02:28 protect my daughter from the kind of treatment I've suffered, but I'm doing the best I can."
