In the electrifying world of darts, where precision meets passion, Luke Littler has become a household name. At just 18, the Warrington-born prodigy, nicknamed “The Nuke,” has not only dominated the oche but also captured hearts worldwide. On May 5, 2025, Littler set tongues wagging off the board when he went public with his new girlfriend, 19-year-old beautician Faith Millar. A candid social media post, showing Littler with his arm around Faith, confirmed their budding romance, marking a new chapter in the darts sensation’s whirlwind life. This revelation, coming nine months after his split from former girlfriend Eloise Milburn, has fans buzzing about the young star’s personal and professional journey.
Littler’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. At 16, he stunned the darts world by reaching the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship final, pocketing £200,000 and becoming the youngest finalist in history. His 2024 season was a masterclass, with victories in the Premier League, Grand Slam, and World Series Finals, culminating in his crowning as the 2025 World Darts Champion after a 7-3 thrashing of Michael van Gerwen. “I’m just a 17-year-old boy who is enjoying his darts!” Littler said last year, a sentiment that underscores his grounded nature despite his stratospheric success. Now, as he prepares for the 2025 Premier League, his personal life is drawing as much attention as his nine-darters.
The announcement of his relationship with Faith Millar, a Wigan native living just 15 miles from Littler’s Warrington home, has added a fresh layer to his story. The couple, who met a few months ago, have grown close, with Faith accompanying Littler to events like a BoohooMan-sponsored Q&A in Manchester in March. “Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another’s company a lot,” a source close to the couple shared, hinting at the ease of their connection. Faith, who has met Littler’s parents, Lisa and Anthony, at his £6,000-a-month rented mansion in Cheshire, is said to fit seamlessly into his world. The mansion, complete with an indoor pool and six bathrooms, is a testament to Littler’s success, a far cry from the two-bedroom semi-detached home he once shared with his family.
Littler’s romance with Faith comes after a high-profile relationship with Eloise Milburn, a 22-year-old amateur darts player. The pair, who met playing FIFA online in 2023, faced intense scrutiny over their five-year age gap, with Eloise enduring vicious online trolling. “There’s been a lot of horrible stuff being posted online about my daughter,” her mother, Amanda Milburn, said, defending her. “She’s a lovely young girl who is in a new relationship and people should allow them to get on with things.” Littler, too, stood by Eloise, declaring, “We’re gonna stick together whether anyone likes it or not.” Their 10-month relationship ended in July 2024, reportedly due to Littler’s grueling travel schedule. “Luke and Eloise tried hard to make their relationship work, but with his darts schedule, he is traveling non-stop,” a source explained. The split, initiated by Littler via text, was described as “brutal” for Eloise, but he publicly urged fans to stop targeting her, saying, “Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise.”
The spark of Littler’s new romance first flickered in October 2024 during a gaming livestream with YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle, known as AngryGinge. A female voice, later linked to Faith, was heard saying, “I’m gonna try and get some sleep because I’m so tired,” prompting playful jabs from Burtwistle: “Who the f*** is that? Who’s that Luke?” Littler’s exasperated “F***’s sake” and lighthearted rant—“If someone has screen-recorded that, it’s in the papers in the morning”—only fueled speculation. Though he initially denied a romantic connection, the recent photo with Faith has put rumors to rest. Fans have taken to social media, with one writing, “Luke and Faith look so happy—good for him!” Another noted, “The Nuke’s got a new dart to aim for!”
Littler’s life off the oche is as vibrant as his game. A self-professed gaming enthusiast, he’s part of the viral EA FC 24 Pro Clubs team “Girth N Turf” and has partnerships with Xbox, BoohooMan, and KP Nuts. His £1.01 million in career earnings, including £618,500 from major titles, have funded a lavish lifestyle, yet his family keeps him grounded. His sister Caitlin runs a fan club, and his parents, who nurtured his talent from age 18 months, remain his biggest cheerleaders. “By the age of four, I got on to the proper board,” Littler recalled, crediting pub visits with his parents for honing his skills.
As Littler prepares for his next darting conquest, Faith Millar’s presence signals a new balance between his personal and professional worlds. With the darts community and fans watching, this “Luke of Love” story is just beginning, promising more headlines both on and off the board.
