And the newest additions to the family have very fitting names - just like older sister OIympia Lightning Bolt.
Bolt and Bennett revealed on Sunday that the new twins are called Saint Leo Bolt and Thunder Bolt.
Bennett also shared some photos on social media and wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to my forever love!
“You are the rock of this family and the greatest daddy to our little ones.
"We love you world without end!”
Needless to say, the names of the new babies sent social media into an absolute frenzy.

Usain Bolt missing from Olympics in 21-year first
Bolt and Bennett announced the arrival of Olympia Lightning in July 2020.
Bolt wished Bennett a happy birthday and mentioned their "new chapter together" with photos of the mother and daughter.
The baby girl's name lit up social media, with Serena Williams - who also gave her daughter with Alexia Ohanian the name Olympia - replying with four heart-eyed emojis and four hearts.
Bolt is an 11-time world champion and holds world records in the 100 meters at 9.58 seconds and 200 meters at 19.19 seconds.
He is the only sprinter to win 100m and 200m gold at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016).
He retired from Olympic competition following the 2016 Games in Rio.
The Tokyo Games will mark the first Olympics since 2000 in which the Jamaican legend will not be on the track.
