Jamaican sprinting sensation Usain Bolt is blessed with three kids : one daughter and two sons. In a 2021 interview with the PEOPLE magazine, the former Olympic champion opened up about the future of his young kids.
Bolt is not keen on imposing his wishes on his young children. In his words,
"I'm sure they're going to be tall, I can tell. When they get their checkup, they're like, 'Wow. They're really growing. They're going to be tall.' So, I know that much, but for me, anything they want to do, I'm just going to support them. That's always a key thing: Just support your child in whatever they want to do. So if they don't want to run, if they don't want to do sports, I'm okay with it."
Usain Bolt has been extremely devoted towards his family, be it his parents Jennifer and Wellesley, or his partner, Kasi Bennett. The Jamaican sprinting sensation recently honored the contributions of his deceased father in the funeral service organized for him. Bolt dropped a four word reaction for his mother Jennifer on his Instagram profile as he wrote,
"Mom I got you."
Usain Bolt's father Wellesley had passed away in March 2025 after battling illness for a long time in the hospital.
