Reports have confirmed that darts power couple Fallon Sherrock and Cameron Menzies have split after four years together, marking the end of a cherished relationship that captivated the darts community. The British trailblazer, known as the “Queen of the Palace” for her historic 2019 PDC World Championship victory as the first woman to defeat a man, and her Scottish partner, a plumber-turned-full-time darts player, began their romance in 2021 after meeting through an online darts league in Southampton. Their unique love story kicked off with a memorable first date at KFC, a detail that endeared them to fans and symbolized their grounded connection. Living together in Milton Keynes, the pair supported each other’s careers, practicing together and sharing mutual admiration—Menzies credited Sherrock with elevating his game, while she praised his encouragement during her groundbreaking journey.
However, signs of a rift have surfaced, signaling the end of their partnership. Sherrock’s absence from Menzies’ World Matchplay debut on July 20, 2025, and his lack of presence during her Women’s World Matchplay final loss to Lisa Ashton on July 26, raised eyebrows among fans. The split was hinted at by former PDC pro Vincent van der Voort on his podcast, where he suggested tensions had developed, though he admitted to lacking specific details on the cause. One speculated incident involved Menzies falling asleep before a match, upsetting Sherrock, but without official confirmation, the exact reason remains unclear. The couple, who had been a fixture at each other’s tournaments, have not posted together recently on social media, further fueling speculation.
Sherrock’s recent announcement of a planned break in 2026 to address ongoing health issues—likely related to the physical demands of her career—may have contributed to the strain, potentially shifting her focus away from their shared life. Menzies, who reached the second round of the World Matchplay, has also faced his own challenges, and the couple’s diverging schedules could have played a role. Their relationship had been a beacon of support in a male-dominated sport, with Sherrock’s achievements—including her 2021 Grand Slam of Darts quarter-final run—complemented by Menzies’ steady rise on the PDC tour. Fans on X expressed a mix of sadness and support, with @DartsQueenFan posting, “So sad to hear about Fallon and Cam—hoping she’s okay,” while @SherrockSupport added, “Wishing them both the best moving forward.”
As the early morning hours tick by at 05:58 AM WAT on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in West Africa, neither Sherrock nor Menzies has publicly confirmed the split, leaving room for hope among fans that it might be a temporary pause. However, the evidence suggests a significant change, ending a four-year chapter that blended romance with rivalry. Sherrock’s focus now shifts to her health break, while Menzies continues his tour journey, their once-shared path diverging as the darts world watches with bated breath for further updates.
