Jamaican sprinting legend Usain Bolt and his partner Kasi Bennett have welcomed the birth of their first daughter.
Bolt’s partner Kasi Bennett gave birth to the couple’s first child, a baby girl, with the news confirmed by Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.
Tweeting about the news, Prime Minister Holness wrote, “Congratulations to our sprint legend Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett on the arrival of their baby girl!”
Congratulations to Usain Bolt and his growing family flooded social media with person tweeting ‘Up top Sir Bolt. Congrats your daughter will be your biggest achievement yet’ whilst another added, ‘Congratulations to the Legend and his beautiful queen Kasi_b. I know you both are going to be great parents’.
Neither Usain Bolt nor Kasi Bennett have spoken publicly about the birth of their daughter or shared any pictures of the heir to the sprinting throne.
Speaking about the upcoming birth of his daughter when he revealed that Kasi was pregnant with a baby girl back in March 2020, Bolt jokingly said, “Any man! Any boy! Don’t play with me!”.
Considered the greatest sprinter of all time, 33-year-old Usain Bolt is the current world record holder for both the 100m and 200m and won eight Olympic gold medals during his time in the sport.
Bolt retired after the 2017 World Championships but his success on the track inspired a whole new generation of young sprinters and cemented Jamaica as the fastest nation on the planet.
From his retirement time on the tracks up to around 2019, Bolt turned a professional footballer but ended giving it up after his then football club could not meet his demanded wages to focus on business ventures.
