Much to her chagrin, she recalled the “doubly disturbing” solo of the first few days. “My biggest concern at the time was making sure the baby didn’t get sick. Basically I was like, ‘Chris stay away from the baby,'” Knox added. “Now that I think about it, those were a rough few days.”
Once the family was healthy again, Knox said everything started to come together. That convenience has extended to big sister Eureka. “Eureka has been such a great champion. She has been so sweet to him since she met him,” she continued.
Knox came into the spotlight in 2007 when she was accused of killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while they were studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison after she and her then-boyfriend were convicted Raffaele Sollecito were both convicted of the crime despite a lack of evidence.
In 2011, an appeals court found the former couple not guilty, but three years later they were found guilty again at a retrial. The Supreme Court of Cassation, Italy’s highest court, ruled in 2015 that the murder case was unfounded, and both were acquitted.

Just weeks after welcoming her second baby, Knox announced on social media that she is “on trial again in Italy.” However, she noted in October that it was a “good thing” as it will hopefully earn her a full acquittal of her “wrongful accusation of defamation.” (She was acquitted of the murder charge, but the Italian court upheld her defamation conviction after she wrongly accused the cafe owner Patrick Lumumba at the murder.)
