SHOCKING TWIST IN CARIBBEAN SPORTS ROYALTY: USAIN BOLT ANNOUNCES JULIEN ALFRED AS SECOND WIFE AMID PREGNANCY ISSUES WITH KASI BENNETT…
In a stunning and unexpected revelation that has sent shockwaves through the Caribbean and global athletics community, Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt has officially announced plans to take Julien Alfred, Saint Lucia’s record-breaking 100m sprinter, as his second wife. The announcement comes amid what sources close to the family describe as “deep personal challenges” with his longtime partner and mother of his children, Kasi Bennett, reportedly involving complications surrounding a current pregnancy.
Bolt, widely regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time and holder of eight Olympic gold medals, made the announcement via a joint statement with Alfred’s management team late Wednesday evening. “After months of reflection, personal discussions, and guidance from family and elders, I have chosen to take a second partner in life,” the statement read. “Julien has shown not only excellence on the track but strength, humility, and values I deeply respect.”
Julien Alfred, 23, has been making headlines in her own right. The Saint Lucian star dominated the collegiate circuit and now sits among the top-ranked sprinters heading into the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. With a personal best of 10.81 in the 100m, Alfred has become the pride of Saint Lucia and a powerful symbol of a new era in Caribbean sprinting.
Social media erupted following the announcement, with reactions ranging from shock and disappointment to curiosity and cultural debate. Some have drawn parallels to traditional practices in parts of Africa and older Caribbean customs where polygamous relationships were quietly acknowledged, especially among prominent figures. However, many have also criticized the move as a betrayal of Kasi Bennett, Bolt’s longtime partner and the mother of his three children.
Bennett has not made a formal statement, but a cryptic post on her Instagram story—“Some things are better left broken”—has fueled speculation about emotional fallout behind the scenes. Friends of the couple say Bennett is focusing on her health and family amid the public scrutiny.
Julien Alfred has yet to speak publicly on the matter, though sources close to her suggest she intends to “stay focused on Paris” and is not letting personal developments distract her from Olympic preparations. Saint Lucian officials have declined to comment, though national pride in Alfred remains unwavering.
Whether this move signals a cultural shift, a personal journey, or simply the private life of global icons playing out in public, one thing is certain: the track isn’t the only place Caribbean stars are making headlines.
With the Paris Olympics approaching, all eyes will now be on both Bolt’s legacy and Alfred’s rise—on and off the track.
