On a crisp evening in late March 2025, as the darts world buzzes with anticipation for the next big throw, one question lingers in the minds of fans beyond the oche: Does Luke Littler, the teenage sensation who’s taken the sport by storm, have a girlfriend? The 18-year-old prodigy, dubbed “The Nuke,” has not only dominated the PDC circuit—claiming the World Championship title in January and racking up a string of Premier League victories—but has also become a magnet for curiosity about his personal life. With his meteoric rise from a Warrington lad to a global sports icon, every detail about Littler’s off-stage world feels like a dart aimed at the bullseye of public intrigue.
Littler’s love life first grabbed headlines during his breakout run at the 2023-24 World Championship, when he was just 16. Back then, he was inseparable from Eloise Milburn, a 21-year-old beauty consultant and amateur darts player who cheered him on from the stands at Alexandra Palace. Their romance, sparked over late-night FIFA sessions on Xbox, blossomed into a 10-month relationship that captivated fans. “We’re going to stick together whether anyone likes it or not,” Littler declared defiantly in early 2024, brushing off critics who fixated on their five-year age gap. Eloise, a Surrey native with a knack for darts herself, was a fixture at his matches, her presence a quiet counterpoint to the roar of the crowd. But by July 2024, the fairy tale fizzled. Littler ended it via text—a move described as “brutal” and “out of the blue”—leaving Eloise stunned and Littler pleading with fans to stop the hate. “Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise saying it’s her fault,” he posted on Instagram, his tone raw but resolute. “I myself split up with her, and we just need some time.”
Since that split, Littler’s personal life has been a puzzle fans are eager to solve. The rumor mill kicked into overdrive in October 2024, when a livestream gaffe hinted at a new chapter. While gaming with popular YouTuber Angry Ginge, a female voice interrupted the banter, murmuring, “I’m gonna try and get some sleep because I’m so tired.” The chat exploded, and Littler’s exasperated “F***’s sake” only fueled the speculation. “Who’s that, Luke?” Angry Ginge teased, laughing as Littler scrambled to downplay the slip. Was it a new girlfriend? A friend? The darts star stayed tight-lipped, but whispers grew louder in March 2025 when he was spotted in Newcastle after a Premier League win, arm-in-arm with a mystery woman. Insiders buzzed that the pair seemed “almost inseparable,” sparking fresh guesses about his romantic status.
Some speculate this rumored flame could be a 19-year-old beautician Littler’s been linked to, a connection that’s floated around since early 2025. “He might be keeping his new romance private,” a relationship expert mused recently, suggesting Littler’s learned from the media frenzy that shadowed his time with Eloise. At 18, with a £1 million-plus net worth and a schedule packed with tournaments, he’s juggling fame and youth—a balancing act that might explain his reluctance to go public. “He’s young and has a lot going on professionally,” the expert added. “He might want to enjoy dating without the pressure.” Unlike Eloise, who was often courtside, this mystery woman—if she exists—has stayed out of the spotlight, a stark contrast that hints at a deliberate shift.
Littler’s focus, though, remains unshaken. Fresh off a 6-1 thrashing of Luke Humphries in Newcastle, he’s riding an eight-point lead in the Premier League standings, his fourth win in eight weeks. “I’m walking the walk,” he grinned post-match, his confidence as sharp as his throws. Off the board, he’s a Manchester United fan who loves kebabs and Xbox, a relatable teen despite his extraordinary talent. Whether he’s single or secretly smitten, Littler’s keeping the darts flying—and the questions about his heart unanswered—for now. As the season rolls on, fans will keep watching, not just for the nine-darters, but for any hint of who might be sharing his victory kebabs.
