Usain Bolt is officially headed to the altar!
The Olympic legend surprised his longtime girlfriend, Kasi Bennett, with a proposal during his 40th birthday celebration in Kingston, Jamaica, and it looks like she said yes!
Bolt popped the question at the celebration on August 21, surrounded by family and friends. Photos from the night show the eight-time Olympic gold medalist on one knee before the couple embraced after Bennett accepted.
More Details Behind Usain and Kasi’s relationship
Bolt and Bennett have been together since 2013, meaning they’ve been building their relationship for more than a decade. The couple also shares three children — daughter Olympia and twin sons Thunder and Saint Leo.
Bennett had already posted a sweet birthday message to Bolt earlier that day, calling him “my love, my home, my forever” and praising him as an incredible father.
The engagement ring reportedly features a five-carat diamond, and Bennett shared her excitement and surprise on social media following the proposal.
Bolt may have spent his career racing to the finish line, but this time he’s taking a much different kind of victory lap.
Congratulations to Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett!
