Jamaican sprinter and 8-time Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt and his partner Kasi Bennett are expecting their first child together, as the couple broke the news on Thursday on their separates social media handles.
Kasi Bennett who shared a series of photos on her Instagram to announced the good news, was photographed cradling a baby bump while wearing a flowing red dress on a beach. The photos were also shared by Usain Bolt, as he captioned it with these words:
“I just want to say a KING or QUEEN is about to be HERE. @kasi.b.”
On her part, Kasi Bennett descried her pregnancy news as their biggest blessing, saying:
“our biggest blessing”, while in another she called it “our greatest celebration”.
Bolt, the only sprinter to win Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Games, retired from athletics in 2017.
He went on to pursue his desire to become a professional footballer, training with Norwegian club Stromsgodset and turning down a deal with Maltese club Valletta before joining Australian club Central Coast Mariners.
However, his A-League career lasted just eight weeks and in January 2019 he announced he was taking a step back from sport to focus on a business career.
In a third post, she said: “Our golden child. Coming soon…”
The couple tend to keep their relationship private, but Bolt confirmed their romance in 2016.
A big congratulations to them for the incoming and new addition to their family…
