Usain Bolt says his kids are not yet aware of his celebrity status

Usain Bolt says that his young children don't have any idea that their father is one of the most famous athletes on the planet.

Bolt and girlfriend Kasi Bennett welcomed their daughter Olympia in May 2020 and then added twin boys Saint and Thunder to their family in June 2021.

The multiple world record holder told the Daily Mail his kids aren't aware of his fame and status as arguably the greatest sprinter of all time just yet.

"They’re young. My daughter’s just two and my boys are one so they have a long way to go before they know or understand who their dad is," said Bolt.

Bolt is currently in the UK and training for Sunday's blockbuster Soccer Aid football match in aid of UNICEF.

He will captain the World XI for the fourth time in the charity clash against England, which will take place this year at West Ham United's London Stadium.

Bolt will be hoping to add to his Soccer Aid goals tally, after scoring a first half goal in the 2019 edition of the match.

"I just learnt from a young age that you will win some, you’ll lose some but if you work hard, you’ll be fine," said the star, addressing his competitive spirit.

Bolt added: "For me, I’ve always worked hard. As long as you work hard, you shouldn’t worry about anything.

"If you don’t win, you go back with your coach and figure out what you did wrong, work on that, and go and try again."

Soccer Aid 2022 will air on ITV at 6.30pm on Sunday.
