AceShowbiz - Usain Bolt popped the question to Kasi Bennett during his 40th birthday celebration, marking a new milestone in their relationship that began in 2013.

The proposal took place in front of close family and friends, with Bolt speaking into a microphone before presenting Bennett with a stunning five-carat oval-cut diamond ring. Bennett, who wore a sparkling form-fitting gown that evening, shared moments from the engagement and the festivities on her Instagram Stories, capturing emotional scenes and dancing with her new ring. A close friend of the couple, Nikolette Williams, revealed that Bennett had been secretly organizing Bolt’s birthday party, unaware that the proposal was also being planned by others.

In the days leading up to the celebration, Bennett posted a heartfelt tribute honoring Bolt and their three children, expressing her love and admiration. Bolt also publicly praised Bennett earlier this year, describing her as an exceptional partner and mother on her 36th birthday.

Usain Bolt is widely recognized as the greatest sprinter of all time, holding the men’s world record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 9.58 seconds and winning eight Olympic gold medals. He is known for his achievements such as the youngest-ever winner at the 2002 World Junior Championships and starred as himself in the documentary I Am Bolt.

This engagement marks a significant step for a couple who have built a strong family foundation over nearly a decade.
