HE’S been called many things in his life: arrogant, flamboyant, self-serving, carefree, interesting – the list is long, the descriptions varied.
But there’s one thing no one has ever dared call Usain Bolt and that’s a softie. Until now, that is.
Enter Olympia Lightning Bolt, a tiny bundle of cuteness that has well and truly stolen the heart of one of the greatest athletes the planet has ever seen.
Usain (33) introduced his baby to the world recently in a series of heart-melting pictures and said his partner, Kasi Bennett, had given him the gift of a daughter on Father’s Day.
“Now we’ve started a new chapter together,” he said on social media. “I look forward to what the future will bring but be reassured that I’ll be the rock of this family.”
The baby’s arrival is a dream come true for the retired athlete, who made no secret of his wish to be a father by the age of 35.
It’s also the cherry on top of his romance with Kasi, the 30-year-old model from the Jamaican town of Old Harbour he’s been dating for the past six years.
The couple have kept their relationship fairly private and aren’t often pictured together. But four years ago the cat was out of the bag when they were spotted kissing at a carnival in Kingston, Jamaica.
Usain told journalists he was dating “an uptown Jamaican girl”. He made things Instagram official soon after wards when he posted a picture of Kasi, calling her “the First Lady”.
Things haven’t all been plain sailing, though. Their relationship was rocked by scandal when pictures of the Olympic gold medallist canoodling with another woman surfaced after his 30th birthday bash at the end of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
