Luke Littler enjoyed a sensational 2025, bagging numerous titles including the World Grand Prix and Grand Slam of Darts, whilst snatching the world No. 1 spot from Luke Humphries.

Throughout his stunning achievements, he’s frequently been seen planting kisses on his girlfriend, Faith Millar, 19, before taking to the oche. The teenage pair initially kept their romance quiet, but Faith has now become a familiar face at darts events, cheering on her boyfriend from the sidelines.

‘The Nuke’ burst onto the darting stage two years ago at Ally Pally, at which time he was dating Eloise Milburn. However, Littler was snapped with Millar in March last year, sparking whispers that the duo had become an item.

The snapshot of the lovebirds was captured after Littler secured victory on the eighth night of the 2025 Premier League. He then left the venue hand-in-hand with Millar.

Littler’s other half is understood to be a beauty therapist from Wigan, situated just 15 miles from his Warrington home. Littler and Millar are said to have first crossed paths in February 2025, though initial reports suggested their relationship began as mates.

Millar is now a regular fixture in the crowd. She even accompanied him on stage when he hoisted the World Matchplay trophy aloft.

Discussing the beginning of their romance, a source told the Mail: “Faith and Luke met a few weeks ago. They just clicked and since then have spent quite a bit of time with each other. They live quite close to each other so it’s been easy to meet up.

“Faith has met Luke’s mum and dad and some of the friends he grew up with and she’s been round to his mansion a few times. Faith was with him at a BoohooMan event.”

They added: “But despite trying to stay in the background, she’s been pestered quite a bit by his fans who are keen to know who she was. But there’s no big story there – she’s a very ordinary, very sweet, normal girl.”

The 18-year-old world champion took a break from his Alexandra Palace heroics to watch Manchester United’s 4-4 draw with Bournemouth alongside Millar in December. The pair were spotted holding hands as they sat beside members of United’s hierarchy.

Speaking on DartsStream Live, Littler has also opened up about his relationship, admitting it’s difficult to nurture a romance in the public eye. “Yeah, it’s been tough,” he said.

“Obviously, at the start of last year, I was always looking at the comments. And she’s been having a look [at the] negativity. But I just said, ‘They’re jealous. They wanna ruin us. Just don’t look at it and just focus on what we’ve got.'”

Littler previously dated Milburn, who was first seen at Ally Pally for the World Darts Championship in 2023, supporting him on his debut. They were also seen sharing a kiss on New Year’s Day 2024 and again when he triumphed in Premier League Darts final in May 2024.

Yet it wasn’t to be for the pair. They split just 10 months into their relationship in July 2024 having reportedly struggled to make time for each other.
