Usain Bolt might be the fastest man alive, but when it comes to marriage, he’s definitely in no hurry. Back in 2021, he confidently said, “I’m definitely going to get married in the future, for sure.” Well, the future is here. But while he’s still not married, he’s happily in love with Kasi Bennett, the Jamaican beauty he’s been dating since 2013. But more importantly, she is also the mother of his three kids.
Fans keep asking, “Does Usain Bolt have a wife?” And while the answer is still no, he has made it clear that Kasi is the one. Of course, being a global superstar means rumors have always sprinted alongside him since Bolt has been involved with many girls. Recently, Usain Bolt appeared on the YouTube podcast The Fix in an episode titled “Usain Bolt BREAKS HIS SILENCE on Losing $2Bil, Hero Status, Marriage, Jacket Rumours & Vybz Kartel.”
Among the many topics discussed, one of the biggest talking points was the rumors about him having illegitimate children. The interviewer brought up the ongoing speculation, highlighting how people have been spreading these stories and questioning Bolt’s personal life. He pointed out how some individuals were being “unscrupulous” with these claims, dragging Bolt’s name into controversy without evidence.

There have been rumors claiming that Bolt has children with other women. But according to him, those rumors are completely false. When asked about the rumors, Bolt didn’t hold back. He dismissed the accusations, saying, “People, you know what I mean? You know the problem with people. People always talk.”
He emphasized that he has “never been the type to bring anyone down.” He says that no one has ever confronted him directly because he has always been truthful. Speaking about social media’s role in fueling gossip, he said, “I think one of the biggest things what ATL do nowadays. And that’s why them stress out—because them follow up on social media and read comments.”
Despite the noise, Bolt made it clear that he remains unbothered. He stated, “Big man, you can say anything you want. I care zero.”Let’s be real, rumors have followed Bolt forever. But he’s never lost sleep over them. Remember 2016? Photos of him with a Brazilian student set the internet on fire. At that time, Bolt’s sister jumped in, defending his commitment to Kasi Bennett.
On the other hand, Bolt coolly shut it all down with a Bora Bora vacation pic, captioned,
“If you believe what you read, then you don’t know us.” Kasi backed him up with, “All that matters.” Scandal or not, they stuck together. Because he’s a man who’s been with the same woman for years knows exactly what could break them. And he’s still standing with now 3 children.
Daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt (yes, that’s her real name) and twin sons, Thunder Bolt and Saint Leo Bolt. But all of this happened while Bolt was fighting for over $12 million from his retirement savings account, tied to an investment firm.
Usain Bolt’s missing funds and the ongoing battle for justice
In January 2023, news broke that Usain Bolt had missing funds from his accounts at an investment firm, and it raised a lot of eyebrows. The Financial Investigations Division and FSC launched an investigation into Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) after Bolt spotted irregularities in his accounts. His manager, Nugent Walker, confirmed that action was being taken.
At first, Bolt’s team didn’t want to share how much money had gone missing, but it later came out that the total was a shocking $12 million. Bolt’s lawyer, Linton P. Gordon, said the athlete was “shocked to discover” the funds had disappeared. “It’s distressful news for anyone,” Gordon added.
Bolt himself shared his frustration on Twitter, posting, “In a World of Lies… Where is the Truth? The history of evil… What is the root? MONEY #CrypticWorld.” Meanwhile, the FSC stepped in and put a temporary manager in place at SSL, but Bolt’s team says regulators haven’t been in touch with them. If the money isn’t returned within eight days, they plan to take the case to the Supreme Court.

Then, back in September 2024, the truth came out. SSL confirmed plans to repay over $30 million to more than 200 clients, including Usain Bolt, who has been waiting since late 2022. Despite the Financial Services Commission’s order to begin payouts, Bolt still hasn’t received a dime as of February 2025. Bolt shared his frustration on a recent podcast, saying, “This happens to me; I’m gonna have two years and we can’t see back a dime.”
In the same podcast, Bolt dropped a few more breadcrumbs about the whole financial scandal. He didn’t exactly spill the beans, but he definitely gave something to chew on. “At some point, I have to start saying something,” he said. “Now I have to be careful because now you’re looking at everybody sideways.” That “sideways” comment? Definitely got people raising an eyebrow.

Could it be a little shade thrown at Jamaican government bodies? Maybe! It sounds like the sprint king’s got a growing mistrust in how things are being handled—and hey, when you’ve lost millions, you’d probably be looking at everyone sideways too! Well, with all this drama, it feels like Bolt might be running a marathon in the wrong lane.
It’s hard to blame him for feeling skeptical. When you’re waiting two years for your money and all you get are vague updates, that “sideways” glance starts feeling pretty justified.
