Amanda Knox is engaged to her longtime boyfriend after he proposed to her on Nov. 16.
The science-fiction themed proposal was uploaded to YouTube by her fiancé Christopher Robinson.
The pair rushes outside to find a smoking object that looks like a meteorite. "What is happening right now?" Knox says, laughing. She bends down to inspect it and finds a piece of writing on a tablet that contains a proposal.
Knox accepted the proposal. "This is so cool," she said.
Knox was previously accused of killing her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007 with her boyfriend at the time but was eventually acquitted. She started dating Robinson in 2016 after they met earlier in the year when she reviewed one of his books and interviewed him.
When Knox met Robinson she was already engaged, to New York City musician Colin Sutherland.
Life With Robinson
She recalled her prison cell in Italy, where she spent 1,427 days after being convicted of the murder in 2009. She said no prisoner was allowed many personal belongings. She said she appreciated how normal her life was after the yearslong ordeal.Knox was acquitted in 2011, the acquittal was overturned in 2014, and she was exonerated in 2015. Her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, went through the same process.
She said they planned to have many conversations with their children, including about what happened to her.
“We look forward to traveling abroad with them and instilling in them a more sophisticated understanding of human flaws and vulnerabilities than I had when I was 20,” she said. “I hope to instill in them the sense that not knowing what to do and asking for help, especially of us, doesn’t mean that they are less capable or less adult.”
