In a relationship with his fiancée Kasi Bennett for ten years now, Usain Bolt almost ruined everything during the 2016 Olympic Games with a big controversy. His sweetheart's reaction was then, to say the least, explicit…
While it has been seven years since he retired from competition, Usain Bolt now has much more time to devote to his family. It was with her that he went as a spectator to the Paris Olympic Games, he who is engaged and father of three children. He also proclaims to anyone who is willing to wait for him that he is only waiting for one thing: for his sponsor contracts to end so he can spend even more time with them.
Very present for his offspring therefore, the Jamaican is also living a beautiful love story with Kasi Bennett, with whom he has been engaged for some time. It will soon be eleven years since they started dating… A longevity all the more remarkable given that their relationship could have ended at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero in 2016, where Bolt won his last medals. 'gold.
When Usain Bolt fooled Kasi Bennett at the 2016 Olympics
To celebrate his hat-trick in the Brazilian megacity, the runner had in fact “had fun” in the company of several young women, even bringing eight back to his hotel room for one evening. But above all, there was these hot revelations from young student Jay Duartewho had published photos of herself in complete privacy with the superstar. His half-sister Christine Bolt-Hylton, however, was skeptical:

The legend Usain Bolt frankly on the level of Christophe Lemaitre: “He would have been better if…
I don't think anything happened with the Brazilian. He loves Kasi too much to jeopardize their relationship. When I look at the photos, I tell myself that there is no indication that he did anything with her. He can't be unfaithful. His parents didn't raise him like that. I think Kasi will want to talk to him and they will make a decision together.
I'm sure Kasi is used to it by now. She's used to seeing these kinds of photos. The photos from the evening are fine. But for the ones with the girl, he's going to have to apologize.
If she therefore took the defense of Usain, Bolt-Hoyton nevertheless recognized that he had made a big blunder with Duarte. For his part, Bennett never reacted openly to the controversy, but was content to relay certain fairly clear messages on social networks:
(via X) : You traded your life with a goddess for a one-night stand with a girl who doesn't even come close to his ankle.
(via Instagram) : When your girlfriend is Selfridges (a luxury chain of stores, editor's note) but you cheat on her with Primark.
In the end, Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett were able to overcome this ordeal together. That being said, the former sprint king will have to live with this affair forever, with Jay Duarte not hiding any information about their steamy night together.
