Bolt posted two more images with the caption, “Girl Dad”. Bennett also posted images of her daughter with one captioned, “My gift”.
Tennis player Serena Williams commented on Bolt’s tweet with several heart-eye emojis. Williams has a two-year-old daughter named Alexis Olympia.
Olympia’s birth wasn’t announced by Bolt, but by the Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness. "Congratulations to our sprint legend Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett on the arrival of their baby girl!" he had written on Twitter and posted a picture of him with Bolt.
This is the first time the couple has publicly shared images of their daughter.
