Amanda Knox has been spotted recently in her native Seattle getting cozy with a tall, dark-haired, and bearded man.

According to reports, the man Knox is developing a relationship with is an old friend of the 24-year-old student named James Terrano.

Terrano is a classical guitar student at the University of Washington, as reported by the International Business Times.

Although the two have yet to confirm anything about their budding relationship, The Daily Mail reports that the new couple are living together in a Chinatown apartment in Seattle.

Recently, Knox’s ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito appeared on Italian television for the first time since the September acquittal and confirmed a rekindling of his romance with Knox is unlikely.

Sollectio said, “Our love was like a seed that was not allowed to grow because it was brutally stamped on. We were both victims of a cruel injustice and our relationship was overcome.”

Sollecito added that his relationship with Knox was “overcome by this tragedy” but did say that although the circumstances are very different for the both of them he still felt “affection” for her.

In 2009, Knox, Sollecito, and another man, Rudy Guede from the Ivory Coast were all convicted of the murder of Knox’s former roommate Meredith Kercher in what was described as a drug-fueled sex game gone wrong.

Knox and Sollecito appealed their case and were ultimately released due to what appears to be a lack of evidence against the two former flames.

Following the acquittal the President of the Perugia appeals court Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann told Italian reporters that the two judges and six jurors ultimately decided the fates of Knox and Sollecito by following their “conscience.”

Nevertheless, Hellman did say that both Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito might know the “real truth” behind what happened the night Knox’s former roommate Meredith Kercher was killed.

Hellmann stated, “They could also be responsible but the proof isn’t there.”
