Usain Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, world-record holder and fastest man in history, just added a new title: dad.
Bolt’s longtime girlfriend, Kasi Bennett, gave birth to a baby girl, according to Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness‘ social media and Jamaica’s two primary newspapers.
In February, Bolt said he would not encourage his child to pursue sprinting.
“That’s going to be hard for my kid,” he said during Super Bowl weekend in Miami. “If they want to do it, I’m fine with it. But initially I’m going to say don’t do it, ’cause I know the pressure that will come along with it.
