Usain Bolt's long-term partner, Cassie Bennett, gave birth to a baby girl, the first time Jamaican Lightning Bolt had become a dad. The eight-time Olympic gold medalist has not yet revealed his daughter's name, but Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Hornis made the announcement on Monday. Holness wrote on Twitter: "Congratulations on the birth of our sprinting legend Usain Bolt and Cassie's daughter. ”
In March, the happy couple hosted a lavish "Gender Reveal" party with fireworks set off and a host of celebrity guests invited. Afterwards, Bolt told fans that he would become a "dad." Bolt began dating Cassie, 4 years younger than him, in 2014, but the couple didn't go public until 2016.
In January, Bolt posted a photo of his girlfriend pregnant on Instagram, showing her pregnant belly in a flowing red dress. In the caption, he adds: "I just want to say that a king or queen is coming here. "Cassie lives in Jamaica and is an avid social media user and fashionista who currently has 345,000 followers on Instagram.
Meanwhile, after the 2017 World Championships in London, Bolt withdrew from the tournament with a hamstring injury in his final match. He has won 11 world titles and is the only flyer in history to have won gold medals at three consecutive Olympic Games in 2008, 2012 and 2016. At the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, the Jamaican set world records in the 100m and 200m with a time of 9.58 seconds and 19.19 seconds.
Bolt has admitted in the past that in order to live up to his legacy, he may let his children give up playing sports. He said: "It's hard for my kids. If they want to do that, I have no problem. But first, I'm going to say don't do it because I know the pressure that comes with it. ”
Bolt used to be a full-fledged playboy, messing around and often going to nightclubs. Incredibly, since falling in love with Cassie, who is 1.55 meters tall, Bolt, who is 1.95 meters tall, has completely lost interest in other women, abandoned countless supermodel suitors, and is sweet and tired with Cassie every day, and it is difficult to imagine that this petite girl has any unique charm. Bolt's exact words were: "She's really special. "A lot of people don't look favorably about Bolt and Cassie's relationship because the height gap is too big, but in fact they are very affectionate.
