Usain Bolt & Girlfriend Kasi Bennett Reveal Baby Gender
Usain Bolt and his girlfriend Kasi Bennett are looking forward to welcoming a daughter.
The couple hosted a gender reveal party at Peterโs Rock in Kingston, Jamaica on earlier this month (March 9), where their close friends and family found out whether theyโre expecting a girl or boy.
The pair was seen entertaining their guests by dancing together to Dancehall music, while the celebrations also included a slideshow of the Bolt and Kasiโs six-year relationship on the big screen alongside a countdown to zero and the gender announcement with fireworks, which flashed pink at the end to signify that they will soon be welcoming a daughter. Kasi Bennett wore a glamorous white ruffled V-neck Kadian Nicรจly maxi dress while Usain Bolt donned a white two-piece with powder blue Desert Clarks.
Taking to Instagram, the eight-time Olympic gold medallist announced that he will be a father to a baby girl.
โI just did the reveal and Iโm a girl dad,โ said Usain Bolt while cuddling with his girlfriend in a footage via his Instagram Story.
The term โgirl dadโ was coined by late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who was a proud father of four daughters.
The 100m world record holder then jokingly went on to warn his daughterโs future love interest.
โAny man! Any boy! Donโt play with me!โ he added.
Kasi posted a photo of her sharing another sweet kiss with Usain in the middle of the party.
โMy forever @usainboltโฆ thank you for being the most supportive partner a woman could dream of. Our princess is beyond blessed to have you as her father. We love you daddy,โ she captioned the image on Instagram.
The couple was later spotted wearing matching white hoodies with โGirl Dadโ and โGirl Momโ printed on the back.
Usain Bolt And Girlfriend Kasi Bennett Expecting Their First Child
Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett announced her pregnancy in January with a photoshoot of the mum-to-be cradling her baby bump in a red gown.
โOur biggest blessing. Our greatest celebrationโฆ Our golden child. Coming soonโฆ,โ the Project Kase founder wrote beside her photographs on Instagram.
โI just want to say a KING or QUEEN is about to be HERE. @kasi.b.,โ the retired sprinter captioned the image while sharing it to the photo-sharing platform.
The 30-year-old marketing director has since posted two more photographs showing off her baby bump, one in a yellow โRude Gyalโ T-shirt, and one in the ocean, wearing a black and white swimsuit.
The Jamaican sprint superstar and his fashionista girlfriend have reportedly been together for six years. Usain Bolt attempted to keep his relationship under wrap for several years to keep his Kasi Bennett out of the media until a 2016 interview with The Telegraph.
โBut Iโm not going to tell you who she is, I want to keep it small for now, because I know when it gets out thereโs going to be a lot of things to say, and I told her she canโt handle it,โ he said when asked about his love life.
โBecause Iโve been through the media. I understand how you guys are โ especially the British media,โ he added.
Kasi Bennett is now heavily pregnant with the pairโs first baby, but still managing to look as stylish as ever.
Bolt, who won three successive Olympic gold medals in the 100m and 200m from 2008, has previously spoken of having children.
โSomething Iโve learned is itโs never a good time to have kids. Itโs never a good time. You just have to buckle down and do it. Itโs in the near future, so, hopefully. Weโll seeโ he told Stellar Magazine.
โI definitely want a family, though. For me, over the years, Iโve waited because I want to make sure itโs the right person,โ he continued.
