Usain Bolt has shared a festive Christmas moment with his family, celebrating in matching outfits and spreading holiday cheer.

Three-time Olympic 100m champion Usain Bolt celebrated Christmas in heartwarming fashion, donning matching red-and-white checkered outfits alongside his girlfriend Kasi Bennett and their three children.

The legendary sprinter, 38, shared glimpses of the festive day on social media, giving fans a peek into his family’s holiday traditions.

In a post that quickly garnered thousands of likes, Bolt captioned the family photo, “Merry Christmas from us to you’ll,” showcasing the family of five, including daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt and twin sons Thunder and Saint Leo Bolt.

The coordinated attire highlighted the close-knit bond of the family, who appear to enjoy celebrating holidays together.

Reflecting on his family life, Bolt once shared his perspective on parenting during an interview with People magazine, stating, “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.”

Bolt and Jamaican model Kasi Bennett have been together for years but only made their relationship public during the 2016 Olympic Games.

The couple has since welcomed three children, beginning with Olympia in May 2020, followed by the arrival of twins Thunder and Leo in 2021.

The family frequently shares snapshots of their life on social media, blending Bolt’s iconic status with relatable family moments.

For Christmas this year, the Bolts appeared to embrace the spirit of togetherness, celebrating with joy and style.

Fans flooded the comments section of the sprinter’s post with holiday wishes and admiration for the family’s coordinated festive outfits.

Beyond his festive celebrations, Bolt has maintained his connection with the community.

On December 26, the athlete’s team hosted the Annual Christmas Treat at Waldensia Primary School in Jamaica. In his Instagram announcement, Bolt shared, “Thankful for my many blessings… come join us,” inviting others to participate in spreading holiday cheer.

Despite retiring from competitive athletics in 2017, Bolt’s influence continues to resonate globally.

The world record holder for the 100m and 200m remains deeply involved in the sport as a mentor and speaker while balancing his role as a father.

In a 2021 interview, Bolt expressed his dream of witnessing one of his children compete on the Olympic stage, though he emphasized his commitment to letting them forge their paths.

“It would be wonderful to sit in the stands and watch any one of them just to compete,” he shared.

“That’s a high level, and even to win, it would be a dream come true. But as I said, I won’t pressure, but it would be a great experience as a dad, as an Olympian, to watch your kid as an Olympian.”

The Jamaican sprinter, who boasts an unparalleled career with multiple Olympic and World Championship golds, has also been recognized with four Laureus Sportsman of the Year awards.
