Usain Bolt makes stance clear on relationships amid long-time commitment with partner Kasi Bennett as he dismisses George Clooney comparison

Sprint legend Usain Bolt made his stance clear on relationships following a long-time commitment with girlfriend Kasi Bennett. Bolt and Bennett began their relationship in 2013 but kept it under wraps from the public until the 2016 Rio Olympics.

During an appearance on "The Fix’ podcast" on Feb. 10, Bolt shared his thoughts on relationships and his bond with Bennett. Bolt admitted that people placed more importance on when they would marry rather than themselves.

“Yeah, I think me and Kasi [Bennett] understand each other. We’re not worried about it.” [24:46]

He then shared his perspective on relationships by offering his insights:

“Live with people first, know everything about them and then you commit” [25:10]

However, Usain Bolt dismissed comparison with George Clooney, who was a bachelor for a long time. Clooney first married in 1989 but got divorced in 1993. He remained unmarried for over 20 years before marrying Amal Alamuddin in 2014. On being asked about this, the 100m and 200m world record holder said:

“No, no man. That’s far”

Notably, the couple welcomed their first child, Olympia Lightning Bolt, in May 2020 and their twin boys in June 2021.

Our kids get the best balance of a loving, fun, nurturing disciplinarian who makes sure we never want or need.”

I promise next year I’m back on my embarrassing posts 😂but for now take this serious love. Love you so much my baby!!! ❤️❤️❤️”, she further mentioned.
