Amanda Knox is trying to live a normal life.
Years after making headlines for her involvement in one of the most notorious murder cases in recent memory, Amanda Knox's latest Facebook update proves she's moving on.
The 29-year-old, who was a key suspect in her roommate's death while living abroad in Italy nine years ago, revealed on Facebook Tuesday that she's in a relationship with author Christopher Robinson.
According to the social media site, the two have been dating since February 2016.

The major announcement comes a week after the release of her highly-anticipated Netflix documentary.
Knox first discussed her relationship with Robinson in the West Seattle Herald. She revealed this past August that they moved in together, comparing it to her time in prison.
"I'm reminded of how my cell in Capanne prison transformed in character with the arrival or release of even just one prisoner," she wrote.

The Seattle-native gained notoriety in 2007 after she was named a key suspect in the brutal murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. Knox, a then 20-year-old student, was found guilty and received a 26-year sentence that caused international controversy.
She spent four years in prison before an appeal trial led to her release in 2011. The legal battle continued long after, and in 2015, Italy's highest court overturned her conviction because of "stunning flaws" in the investigation.

Her current boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, was also found guilty in the initial trial. Like Knox, he was later granted freedom.
After returning to the United States, Knox wrote a book about her time in prison titled, "Waiting to Be Heard: A Memoir." She has also devoted her efforts into advocating for those wrongfully convicted by working closely with the Innocence Project and other related organizations.
