Usain bolt has addressed speculation over his relationship with his girlfriend Kasi Bennett after photographs appearing to show him with another woman surfaced.
Bolt defended his title as the fastest man in the world at the Rio games in August, winning his ninth Olympic gold medal. Days later, his name made it into the headlines for very different reasons.
Several pictures, including one of him with 20-year-old Brazilian student Jady Duarte and another of him dancing with another woman in a Rio nightclub soon spread over the internet. The reports also claimed Bolt was in a two-year relationship with Kasi Bennett.
On Wednesday, the Jamaican sprinter shared a photograph of himself and Bennett holidaying in the French Polynesian island Bora Bora along with a cryptic caption dismissing the week-old reports.
“If you believe what you read, then you don’t know us,” he wrote to his 5.1 million followers.
Bennett, who was an active supporter of Bolt during the Games regularly sharing encouraging photos of her boyfriend, also posted a picture of the couple, writing: “All that matters”, alongside a lightning bolt emoji.
