Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett welcomes twins

Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt revealed that he and partner Kasi Bennett are now parents to twins, Saint Leo Bolt and Thunder Bolt.

In Instagram and Twitter posts on Father’s Day today, Bolt, 34, and Kasi, 30, shared photos of the twin boys with their daughter Olympia, 1.

Kasi, a businesswoman, wrote in Father’s Day message: “Happy Father’s Day to my forever love! @usainbolt.  You are the rock of this family and the greatest daddy to our little ones. We love you world without end!”

In the surprise photos, Saint Leo Bolt and Thunder Bolt are snuggled in blankets and laid in baskets with big sister Olympia in the middle.   The proud parents of three sat behind the kids, with Bennett glowing in a gold dress with floral accents and a plunging neckline.

Bolt and Kasi welcomed Olympia in May 2020 and had previously announced that pregnancy in January 2020.  They, however, kept things under wraps for their twins until today’s big Father’s Day reveal.  The couple has been together for six years.

 

On Olympia’s first birthday in May, Bolt wrote, “So happy that you came into my life and made me a better person and a father.”

“I just want to be better and work harder. I just want to wish u Olympia a happy first birthday daddy will love u forever,” he continued.

Bolt retired from competition after the 2017 World Athletics Championships, where he finished third in the 100m.  He had previously won eight gold medals in three Summer Olympics and copped 11 gold medals at the World Championships.  He holds the world records in the 100m, at 9.58 seconds, and the 200m, at 19.19 seconds.

The sprint sensation turned Dancehall music producer recently signed a lifetime partnership deal with Puma, according to his manager Nugent Walker.
