When did Amanda Knox and Christopher Robinson get married?

Knox and Robinson legally wed in November 2o18, according to Hollywood Life.

But the couple did not hold a public ceremony where they delivered their vows to each other until February 29, 2020.

The pair dated for three years and announced their engagement in a video posted on social media.

Filmed at their home in Seattle, complete with a fake meteorite and alien theme, it starts with Knox going outside after she hears weird noises and finds a blue light glowing in the backyard.

Inside a meteorite was a tablet detailing her relationship with Robinson.

As Knox laughs, Robinson says: "I had been thinking about this, but it's already happened in the future. It's happening now.

"I don't have a ring, but I do have a big rock. Will you stay with me until the last star in the last galaxy burns out and even after that? Amanda Marie Knox, will you marry me?"

How many children does Amanda Knox have?

Amanda Knox and Christopher Robinson welcomed their first child together. The baby, named Eureka, was born in October 2021.

In September 2023, the couple expanded their family with the birth of their son. During an episode of their Younglings podcast, they revealed that their son's name is Echo.

"The birth was really, really ideal as far as births go," Amanda said during the podcast.

"It was just me and Chris this time again."

Christopher added, “Amanda pushed like three times. She pushed nine times in three contractions ... and the third contraction, baby popped out."

The couple has previously been open about their struggles with fertility and, in May 2021, Amanda revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage during an episode of their Labyrinths podcast.

“I thought I knew exactly what I want to do with my first pregnancy and [to] have it not come to fruition, not through choice, felt like a betrayal,” she said.

“Do I have bad eggs? Am I too old? Did something happen to me while I was in Italy? As soon as I learned it wasn’t alive, I tried to divorce those two ideas in my head, that was not my baby, it doesn’t have a name. … I don’t know that baby, I don’t think I ever will.”
