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.
