Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were accused of murdering Meredith Kercher in 2007 shortly after they began dating while studying in Perugia. They served nearly four years in prison before being exonerated amid judges' condemnation of the investigation's "stunning flaws" and an "absolute lack of evidence" linking them to the crime; Rudy Guede was separately convicted in 2008. Knox and Sollecito have remained in touch since their 2011 release and have publicly navigated intense media scrutiny. Sollecito describes a peaceful, cordial relationship with Knox, works in IT, and is rebuilding his sense of safety and future plans. The pair have reunited several times, including a bittersweet 2022 visit to Gubbio.
Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were barely a week into dating when their lives were changed forever. As seen in Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox (streaming now), Knox, an American studying abroad, and Sollecito, an Italian college student, were accused of murdering Knox's housemate, Meredith Kercher, in 2007. After serving nearly four years in prison, the wrongfully convicted pair were exonerated.
During a May appearance on the Pulp Podcast, Sollecito said he has a "peaceful, cordial relationship" with Knox, even as they took different paths in life. "We've always stayed on good terms. She also really embraced the media side of things," Sollecito said (via YouTube translation), praising Knox's activism in criminal justice reform. Sollecito, for his part, works in IT as a cloud architect and shared his hopes that someday, he'll become the head of IT infrastructure at a large company.
