Jamaican Sprint Legend Usain Bolt Proposes to Longtime Partner Kasi Bennett (WATCH)

Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt proposed to his longtime partner, Kasi Bennett, during his 40th birthday celebrations on Friday.

One photo from the celebration, shared online by Jamaica Observer, show Bolt down on one knee as Bennett looks at him with a smile. Another image captures the couple embracing, seemingly moments after she accepted the proposal.

Bolt reportedly presented Bennett with a five-carat engagement ring as family and friends looked on during the celebration. The proposal added another significant moment to the birthday festivities for the retired Olympic champion.

Bennett, who has been in a relationship with Bolt for several years, is the mother of three of his children. The couple have largely kept their family life away from the spotlight while occasionally sharing moments from their relationship on social media.

The proposal comes as Bolt celebrates turning 40, following a career that saw him become one of the most recognisable athletes in the world. He retired from competitive athletics in 2017 after winning eight Olympic gold medals and holding world records in the 100m and 200m.

No video of the proposal has surfaced publicly so far, while further details about the engagement are expected to emerge as photos and messages from the birthday celebration continue to circulate online.
