Usain Bolt And Girlfriend Kasi Bennett Expecting First Child

The Olympic sprint legend declared, "A KING or QUEEN is about to be HERE."

A little speedster is on the way for Usain Bolt and girlfriend Kasi Bennett.

The Olympic sprint champion announced on Instagram Thursday that the couple are expecting their first child.

I just want to say a KING or QUEEN is about to be HERE,” he wrote with a striking photo of Bennett cradling her belly as her dress billows at the beach.

Bennett shared similar images, writing “Our biggest blessing” and “Our golden child.”

The father-to-be was certainly golden. The Jamaican star won nine Olympic gold medals, including three straight 100-meter titles in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 games, but had his medal haul cut to eight when a relay teammate was found guilty of doping.

The 11-time world champion and Bennett, also from Jamaica, have been together for more than seven years, People noted.

No word on when the baby is expected to hit the finish line, er, arrive.
