The love bug seems to have caught up with nine-time Olympic gold medal winning sprinter Usain Bolt. During his recent record setting performance at the Rio Olympics, 26-year-old girlfriend Kasi Bennett was his biggest fan, shouting out the speedster in tributes all over social media that described him as "my boss" and "my baby."

In one post, Bennet marveled of Bolt's exploits, "All the work and talent - all him. The level of pride is unfathomable."

Two a Couple for Years

Word is Bolt and Bennett have been going strong now for nearly three years, though before Rio they have mainly kept details about their relationship under wraps.

"I have explained to her that when it comes out, it's not going to be as she thinks it's going to be," Bolt recently shared on a show. "A lot of people will try to attack her, so I tell her to just take it easy and let's make sure that you're ready for this."

In recent times, however, the two have seemed to throw caution to the wind, allowing themselves to be spotted kissing at a Jamaican carnival in New Kingston. Afterwards, Bolt posted pics where he referred to the 26-year-old fashionista as the "First Lady" to his "President."

Bolt Thinking of Settling Down

Claiming he's had no more than four serious girlfriends over his life, the 29-year-old Bolt insists he can definitely see himself settling down and tying the knot.

"That's what I want for myself," he said of marriage and his plan of having three children. "I can't put a time-frame on it - when I find the right girl, I would definitely get married. But I have to make sure it's the right girl."

Forbes magazine recently ranked Bolt No. 32 on its list of world's highest paid celebrities with an estimated net worth in the vicinity of $60 million, the bulk of it stemming from endorsement deals that have earned him at least $32.5 million over the last two years.

Among his biggest deals are pacts with Puma, Hublot, Virgin Media, Visa and Nissan.

Besides being described as someone who loves fashion, Bennett seems to be a huge Pokeman Go fan, sharing a screenshot on Twitter earlier this summer of herself completely engrossed in the game.
