Usain Bolt Reveals the Non-Negotiable Deal He Made With His Partner About Diaper-Changing Duties
Usain Bolt has kept his social life undercover in recent times and refuses to let the public know about what goes on inside the household or in his life away from the limelight. Now a family man, Bolt enjoys spending time with his children and partner Kasi Bennett as much as he loves reggae music.
Shortly before he began his venture into music, Bolt was gifted with twins from Bennett, which he named Thunder and Saint Leo. The names did gain a significant amount of attention due to their unusual nature, even more so because no one knew that Bolt was expecting more children.

The former athlete revealed that his partner wanted the pregnancy to stay out of the spotlight so that she was not hounded. This came from a similar experience during the pregnancy of their first child, Olympia.
While Bennett had her ground rules, Bolt also had his terms when it came to the children- particularly relating to the diaper-changing aspect. “I don’t change poop nappies; I’m a pee guy,” he confirmed, speaking to The Times. “Anytime they poop I’m, like, ‘Mum, here you go.’ I made that deal before she got pregnant.”

Usain Bolt has learned to be patient as a father
The smooth negotiator admitted to being influenced a lot by his children. Rather than slow him down, the experience has helped him in important ways. “(Parenthood) has made me much more patient. People always ask me why I couldn’t coach. I was, like, ‘I’m not the patient type of guy.’ (Becoming a father has) let me know how to live at a slower pace,” he said.

In sporting history, we have seen several children take after their parents in the same or even better regard such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson taking after his father Rocky Johnson in professional wrestling, Stephen Curry after his father Dell Curry in basketball, and Peyton Manning after his father Archie Manning in Football.

Stepping away from the tracks after the 2017 World Champions, Usain Bolt has never looked back. After a brief stint in soccer, he has now struck gold in the music industry and is emerging as a Reggae star. Olympic Gold is one thing, but it seems he has eyes on the Grammy Awards now.
