At 18, Luke Littler, the darts prodigy known as “The Nuke,” continues to dazzle on the oche while his personal life grabs headlines. Fresh off his 2025 PDC World Championship triumph, the world’s second-ranked player has formed a close friendship with 19-year-old beautician Faith Millar, sparking curiosity among fans. This comes nine months after Littler’s publicized breakup with Eloise Milburn, adding intrigue to the young star’s off-stage world.
Littler’s rise from obscurity to darts superstardom is remarkable. At 16, he stormed to the PDC World Darts Championship final, toppling legends like Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross before losing to Luke Humphries. In 2025, he claimed the World Championship’s £500,000 prize, alongside titles in the Grand Slam of Darts, World Series of Darts, and UK Open. With a net worth surpassing £1.5 million, Littler’s ascent is as meteoric as his nickname suggests.
Recently, Littler has been spotted with Millar, a bubbly eyelash technician from Wigan, just 15 miles from his Warrington hometown. The two, who met weeks ago, have grown inseparable, attending events like a BoohooMan Q&A in Manchester and a Premier League Darts night in Newcastle, where Littler was seen with his arm around Millar as they left under security escort. Despite speculation, both insist their bond is platonic. Littler’s spokesperson clarified, “They’re just good friends. Luke’s focused on darts and too busy traveling for a relationship.”
This follows Littler’s June 2024 split from Milburn, a 22-year-old amateur darts player. Citing his packed schedule, Littler ended the 10-month relationship via text, drawing scrutiny over their age gap. Milburn faced online abuse, prompting Littler to defend her on social media: “Stop sending hate to Eloise. I split up with her, and we need time. No need to give her grief.” The two remain amicable.
Millar, described as “sweet and kind,” has blended into Littler’s circle, meeting his parents and visiting his £6,000-a-month Warrington mansion, complete with a pool and vast garden. Their connection is clear, with Millar’s playful TikTok videos—lip-syncing and dancing—followed by Littler. Friends say they “enjoy each other’s company immensely.”
Littler’s focus stays on darts, evident in his 6-1 rout of Humphries in Newcastle’s Premier League. Yet, his personal life keeps fans hooked. A cryptic moment during a gaming livestream, where a female voice sparked Littler’s flustered “F*** off, it’s in the papers tomorrow,” fueled romance rumors, though it remains unlinked to Millar.
For now, Littler and Millar call their bond a friendship, with the darts star prioritizing his career. As he shatters records, his moments with Millar offer a peek into a young man balancing fame with camaraderie. Fans will watch closely, both for his next dart and his next outing with his new friend.
