The darts world is still buzzing from Luke Littler’s latest triumphs, but today the spotlight shifts from the oche to something far more personal: the teenage sensation turning 19.
On January 21, 2026, Luke Littler officially entered his 20th year, marking the milestone with a blend of professional highs and heartfelt personal moments. Fresh off securing the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters title—just a day earlier, where he claimed the £30,000 prize in impressive fashion—the young champion found himself reflecting on both his rapid rise in the sport and the steady support that’s kept him grounded.
Among the warmest tributes came from his girlfriend, Faith Millar. The 19-year-old beautician from Wigan, who has been by Littler’s side as their relationship has blossomed over the past year, shared a touching birthday message on Instagram. Posting an adorable selfie of the couple cozy in a car, she wrote: “Happy birthday my love,” followed by a heart emoji, and added the simple yet profound line, “I love you always x.” The eight-word sentiment captured the depth of their bond in just a few characters, radiating the kind of quiet affection that has become a hallmark of their romance.
Littler, ever appreciative, reshared the post to his own story, sprinkling it with two heart emojis of his own—a small but meaningful gesture that spoke volumes about how much her words meant to him amid the whirlwind of his career.
The couple’s story began quietly in February 2025, when they first met and quickly grew close. For months, they downplayed things as a friendship, but by May, the connection was undeniable, and they went public. Since then, Faith has become a constant presence at major events, cheering from the stands and joining Luke on stage for some of his biggest victories. She’s been there through the electric atmosphere of Ally Pally, where Littler defended his world title in a nail-biting run, and on international trips that have taken them from Australia to Bahrain and beyond.
Their life together mixes the glamour of darts stardom with everyday sweetness. They’ve enjoyed luxury flights with champagne toasts en route to tournaments, and now, to celebrate both his Saudi win and this birthday, the pair jetted off to Dubai for a well-deserved three-day break alongside Littler’s family. It’s a rare pause in a schedule packed with high-stakes matches, allowing the couple to recharge away from the bright lights and roaring crowds.
Faith, with her warm smile and unwavering support, has often been described as one of Littler’s biggest assets off the board. She handles the spotlight with grace, even as she navigates the occasional negativity that comes with being linked to one of the sport’s most talked-about figures. Luke has spoken openly about how he reassures her that critics are simply jealous, emphasizing the strength they draw from each other.
At just 19, Littler—nicknamed “The Nuke” for his explosive talent—has already achieved what many pros dream of over entire careers: back-to-back world championships, multiple major titles, and a level of fame that transcends darts. Yet moments like this birthday highlight a side of him that’s refreshingly normal: a young man grateful for love, family, and the people who believe in him when the arrows aren’t flying.
As he steps into this new chapter, armed with talent, determination, and the quiet certainty of a partner who loves him “always,” Luke Littler’s future looks brighter than ever—both on the stage and off it. Happy 19th birthday to a star who’s proving that success, when shared with the right person, feels even sweeter.
