Amanda Knox’s Children: All About Daughter Eureka and Son Echo

Amanda Knox is a mother to daughter Eureka and son Echo, who are growing outside of the spotlight.

In 2007, Knox and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were accused of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. Two years later, Knox was found guilty before being acquitted in 2011, according to The New York Times. Although Italian authorities retried her case and sentenced her to 28 years in prison in 2014, it was overturned the following year, after DNA evidence found Rudy Guede guilty of the crime.

Following the ordeal, Knox met her husband, Seattle-based writer Christopher Robinson, in 2015 and they married three years later. After experiencing a miscarriage, Knox and Robinson welcomed their daughter, Eureka, in 2021, and their son, Echo, in 2023.

Over the years, Knox’s criminal case has been retold in her eponymous 2016 documentary, Amanda Knox and more recently, the Hulu show The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. However, she also wants to use her story to teach her kids about resilience and the power of family.

“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,” Knox told PEOPLE in August 2017.

Here’s everything to know about Amanda Knox’s children, Eureka and Echo.

Eureka was born in 2021 but it wasn’t announced for “months”

Knox and Robinson welcomed their daughter Eureka Muse Knox-Robinson in 2021.

Knox shared the news on an October 2021 episode of Labyrinths, the podcast she co-hosts with Robinson, but had actually welcomed Eureka a few months prior. She kept the birth a secret out of fear of the paparazzi invading their personal lives, she told The New York Times.

Shortly after, Knox spoke about her decision to keep Eureka’s life private and off social media.

“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,” Knox wrote in an Instagram post alongside a photo of her and Eureka for a New York Times profile. “She deserves the privacy and autonomy that I was denied.”

Echo’s birth in 2023 was an “ideal” experience for Knox

Knox and Robinson celebrated the arrival of their son Echo Knox-Robinson on Sept. 23, 2023.

The couple announced Echo’s birth on their parenting podcast Younglings, revealing that he was born at 9:23 p.m., weighing 7 lbs., 6 oz.

On the audio show, Knox described the birth as “easy-peasy” and “ideal as far as births go.” She and Robinson were the only two in the delivery room, and Robinson added that she delivered Echo after only three rounds of contractions.

Knox is raising Eureka and Echo away from cameras

Knox keeps her kids’ lives private and primarily off social media.

She has posted photos on the family spending time together — from attending festivals to playing at home, visiting the beach and traveling — though she doesn’t share their faces.

Knox has also brought her children into the podcast studio with her. In a June 2025 Instagram post, Knox wrote, “Sometimes I take Eureka and Echo into the booth to record their thoughts.”

Knox has started telling her children about the past

Knox has spoken to her daughter and son about what happened to her in Italy. On Good Morning America in March 2025, Knox shared that 3-year-old Eureka was “already asking questions” about her time in prison.

“I believe in being transparent, I believe in being honest. … I always give her very age-appropriate, honest answers,” Knox said. “I’ve told her the story of when mommy went to Italy, how someone hurt her friend, and then they hurt mommy by putting her in prison and all of that.”

Knox expressed that she hopes it teaches her children important life lessons of resilience. “I feel really confident that I can show my daughter that stuff will happen that is painful and out of your control and inevitable, but it doesn’t define you, and you can find your way through it,” she told NPR in March 2025.

Today, Knox advocates against wrongful convictions and freeing innocent people from prison, and it’s a mission that Eureka and Echo will also become familiar with.

In a November 2021 essay for The Independent, Knox wrote about bringing Eureka to her first Innocence Network Conference, “where she will meet my exoneree family.” She added, “[My daughter] will grow up surrounded by those who’ve suffered unspeakable injustice, and those who devote their lives to advocating against it.”

In the summer of 2022, when Knox decided to return to Perugia to meet with the prosecutor from her case, Dr. Giuliano Mignini — who she has since forgiven for his responsibility in her wrongful imprisonment — she brought Eureka with her, according to Rolling Stone.

Knox and her kids spend time outdoors together

Knox enjoys spending time outdoors with her kids — something she was deprived of while in prison.

In her 2025 memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning, she wrote about finding comfort in the small amount of time she could spend outdoors. The pastime was rooted in her childhood on the Pacific Northwest, Knox shared on The Elevate Podcast.

Living on an island outside of Seattle in an “artsy forest community,” per The Guardian, Knox has passed a love for the outdoors down to her children, who attend an “outdoor preschool,” per Knox’s Instagram.

Together, the family spends a lot of time hiking, playing outside or exploring in the forest.
