He added, “I’ve always said I want three kids. The other day I hung out with my buddy who has three kids and it was crazy. I was like, ‘Hmmmm do I really want 3 kids?’ But yes, yes I do. I’m sure of it."
The couple haven’t announced an official due date, only that the baby is ‘coming soon’. We can’t wait to learn more about Baby Bolt - huge congratulations to Usain and Kasi!
