Usain Bolt shoots down claims he's engaged to girlfriend Kasi Bennett

In September, it seemed that the decorated Olympic champ has decided to mark his retirement from sprinting by proposing to his longtime girlfriend Kasi Bennett.

But, following almost three months of speculation, Usain Bolt, 30, has revealed that the Snapchat images purportedly showing him celebrating his engagement to the 26-year-old beauty were, in fact, edited by another user to trick fans.

During an interview on ITV's Lorraine on Tuesday, the Jamaican sportsman said: ‘I’m not engaged. Me and my girlfriend went on a trip to Bora Bora. Somebody edited picture on my Snapchat and said "she said yes" with a ring. It was well done though.'

 

 

Indeed, Usain took to the social media app to share images of his and Kasi's luxurious break - only for snapshots to be later edited to suggest he'd proposed.

While Usain has yet to pop the big question, his family is impatiently waiting for him to settle down and have children, with the statuesque star revealing: 'My mum’s pressuring me.'

The night before his interview with Lorraine Kelly, Usain was the star attraction as he attended the glittering world premiere of his new documentary I Am Bolt in London.

Following the big unveiling at the Odeon Leicester Square, he swapped his slick navy suit for jeans and a hoodie under a beige jacket as he celebrated at an after-party, held at hotspot Tape.

And he pulled in his fair share of stars for his big night out, with the likes of Salma Hayek, Justin Bieber, Liam Payne and Mo Farah in attendance. 

The star sprinter has found himself at the centre of a series of scandals since his stunning 'triple triple' at the Olympics in Rio in the summer.

He racked up a £6,000 bar tab and was spotted grinding with British model Erica Carvalho, 20, who was invited back to his hotel with seven other women and Usain's male friends as the party continued.
