Amanda Knox is again in the news; however, it is not related to a controversial matter this time. The 34-year old has given birth to her newborn child, Eureka Muse Knox-Robinson. According to Knox's exclusive to The New York Times, she gave birth to her newborn girl 'several months ago.'

After the article was published, Amanda Knox shared a snap on her Instagram where she held Eureka in her arms while not revealing the newborn's face. She explained the decision in the caption, where she wrote:

"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. Which is why this will be the only picture of her I will ever share on social media."

In the post, Amanda Knox spoke about her life after her 'exoneration.' The author and journalist had spent four years (2009-2013) in an Italian prison for the alleged murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, who was found dead in their house.
