Kingston, Jamaica — Usain Bolt has given Jamaica something else to celebrate.
The legendary sprinter reportedly proposed to his longtime partner, Kasi Bennett, during his 40th-birthday celebrations in Kingston, turning an already special night into an unforgettable one.
According to reports, Bolt got down on one knee during the private celebration at the rooftop of One Belmont. Bennett was reportedly presented with a stunning five-carat engagement ring, and photos from the evening show the couple embracing after the proposal.
For Bolt, it was a very different kind of milestone.
The man who spent years making history on the track was celebrating his 40th birthday with family and close friends when he reportedly decided to make another major move — this time in his personal life.
A Love Story More Than a Decade in the Making
Bolt and Bennett have been together since around 2013, although they kept much of their relationship private during the early years.
Their relationship became widely known around the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, when Bennett was among those supporting Bolt as he added more Olympic success to his already legendary career.
Since then, the couple have built a family together. They are parents to three children: daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt and twin sons Thunder Bolt and Saint Leo Bolt.
While Bolt has spent much of his life in the spotlight, the couple have generally kept their family life away from the constant attention that comes with being one of Jamaica’s most famous personalities.
From World Records to Wedding Bells?
Bolt retired from competitive athletics in 2017, but his name has remained synonymous with greatness.
The eight-time Olympic champion still holds the men’s 100m and 200m world records, and he remains one of the most recognisable athletes Jamaica has ever produced.
Now, however, it looks like Bolt could be preparing for a completely different race — the road to marriage.
If the reports are confirmed, the proposal marks another chapter in a relationship that has lasted more than a decade and produced a family away from the track.
And considering how fast Bolt used to move on the track, fans might joke that this is one race he certainly took his time winning. 😄
