Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were sentenced to 26 years in prison for the murder of Meredith Kercher. They spent four years in jail before the convictions were overturned in 2011.
Knox moved on from the notorious relationship with husband Chris Robinson, who she secretly married in December 2018. Now, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Sollecito revealed he is in a new relationship.
"Yes, we have been in a relationship for a short time," Sollecito told RadarOnline.com, who translated the interview from Italian, of his new girlfriend. "It's been two months, but we have known each other for two years."
The 35-year-old revealed he met his new girlfriend on the Internet.
Sollecito, who works as a computer engineer, showed off his girlfriend in a collage of sweet photos on Instagram while visiting Venice, Italy.

"She is wonderful," he said.
The new relationship comes after RadarOnline.com broke Knox, 32, secretly married Robinson, 37, on December 1, 2018 in Washington state. They got engaged just a month before.
In an interview with UK's Mirror in 2018, Sollecito revealed he has had trouble dating after the 2007 murder of Knox's roommate.
"Society still has a negative impression of me," he admitted. "I'm imprisoned by a society that will not let me lead a normal life. At times I met girls who were charmed by my 'black halo.' But good girls are appalled and scared of me. When I dated girls and they had to tell their families about me, there was always some family member that would get worried because they did not trust me."
Although the couple was released from prison in 2011, the convictions were reinstated in 2014.
In 2015, Knox and Sollecito were acquitted again by Italy's highest court.
