Usain Bolt introduced his daughter, Olympia Lightning Bolt, to the world in a Tuesday Instagram post. The sprinter celebrated his girlfriend Kasi Bennett’s birthday and posted pictures of the mother-daughter pair in honor of her special day.

Bolt’s birthday tribute to Bennet read, “I want to wish my gf @kasi.b a happy birthday and To let u know I am happy I get to spend ur special day with u.

In January, Bolt revealed he and Bennett were expecting their first child together and they welcomed Olympia in May. The Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced her birth on Twitter.

Holness wrote at the time, “Congratulations to our sprint legend Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett on the arrival of their baby girl!”

In 2017, Bolt told People that he and Bennett were “thinking about kids,” but wanted to take their time.

Bennett also shared pictures of Olympia in her own Tuesday Instagram post.
