Usain Bolt’s twin boys are officially 5 years old.
The Olympic legend shared a sweet photo with sons Thunder and Saint Leo after the pair celebrated their birthday on May 9.. In the picture, Bolt posed beside the boys aboard a yacht decorated with red, blue, and racing-themed balloons while the twins coordinated in matching race car-inspired outfits.
“Happy birthday to my twins boys know that daddy loves you very much,” Bolt wrote alongside the post.
Bolt and his partner, Kasi Bennett, are also parents to daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt.
During an appearance on Obi One Podcast in 2024, the sprint icon opened up about his children’s personalities and admitted Olympia may be the one most likely to follow in his foosteps.
“Hopefully, one of them does track,” he said. “My daughter is quick though. She has this thing [where] she looks at you when she wants to do something. You tell her not to go outside, and she looks at you like, ‘Okay,’ but as soon as you [turn around], she’s gone. Maybe she will be the runner.”
Bolt also joked that his sons are not runners.
“My other boy, he hops when he’s running,” he said with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re not going to be a runner.’ She’s the only one that runs. The two boys, nah. Hopefully, [the boys] will grow out of it.”
The retired athlete also acknowledged the pressure that could come with any of his children entering the same sport that made him a global superstar.
“Imagine if they actually run,” he said. “That’s going to be a lot of pressure because of who your dad is. When your kid goes into the same sport, it’s like, ‘Oh, but your dad used to be like this,’ or ‘Your dad used to do this,’ so the standard is always going to be high.”
