Usain Bolt engages longtime partner Kasi Bennett

Jamaican sprinting legend and eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt has announced his engagement to longtime partner Kasi Bennett. The proposal took place in Kingston, Jamaica, during Bolt’s 40th birthday celebrations.

Bolt and Bennett have been in a relationship for approximately 13 years and share three children: daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt, born in 2020, and twin sons Thunder and Saint Leo, born in 2021. Bennett, a Jamaican model, businesswoman, and social worker, is the founder of Project Kase, an organization focused on children and social welfare.

The engagement was marked by a surprise proposal involving a five-carat diamond ring, which Bennett later shared on social media.
