Usain Bolt and Girlfriend Kasi Bennett welcomed their first child together and it’s a beautiful baby girl!
While details are sparse at the moment, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness spread the wonderful news with a congratulatory tweet. Bolt and his long-time girlfriend welcomed their firstborn into the world on Sunday.
Prior to Kobe Bryant’s death, Bolt shared a close friendship with Bryant. It was their bond and observing Kobe as a father which inspired the eight-time Olympic gold medallist to want to be a #GirlDad. “I could see in his eyes how much he loved his girls,” Bolt said. “I would love to have that feeling.” The 33-year-old Bolt has said in the past he’d like to have three kids.
People were debating on if giving your significant other a hall pass is good for the relationship. Bennett famously let Bolt sleep with 21 women in 14 days after the Olympics, before getting back together and they have been strong ever since.
