Meet Kasi J. Bennett, the girlfriend of the greatest Olympic track and field star of all time Usain Bolt.
Kasi, 26, has been reportedly dating the legendary sprinter for over two years. Kasi, a fashionista from the Jamaican town of Old Harbour and who has more than 30,000 followers on Instagram, has been supporting Bolt throughout his entire historic run at the Olympic games in Rio this year.
People.com reports:
Bolt has been quiet about his relationship in the past, telling journalist Ian Boyne in January that while he’s been dating the “uptown Jamaican girl” for nearly three years, he wants to keep their coupling private.
“I have explained to her that when it comes out, it’s not going to be as she thinks it’s going to be,” he explained. “A lot of people will try to attack her, so I tell her to just take it easy and let’s make sure that you’re ready for this.”
“I don’t definitely hide, but we don’t try to put it out in the media like ‘Here she is,’ because I personally know what’s going to happen,” he continued.
He told Boyne that early on in their relationship, he asked her to be honest about her past with him because “the press would find out.”
He also said he’s only officially had three or four girlfriends in the past, and seeks stability in his relationships. “That’s what I want for myself,” he said, speaking of marriage and children – of which he wants three. “I can’t put a time-frame on it – when I find the right girl, I would definitely get married. But I have to make sure it’s the right girl.”
As for what attracted Bolt to Bennett to begin with? It appeared to be her booty.
“One of the things that stands out is the buttocks area,” he told Boyne. “That’s what really attracts me. I date mostly curvaceous woman.”
Bolt, 30, is worth an estimated £ 46 million dollars. He created history at the 2016 Olympic Games by becoming the first athlete in history to claim the “triple triple.” Bolt won his third consecutive 100m, 200m and 4X100m races to secure nine gold medals in what is called an unmatched track and field career.
