“There’s negativity, but I just tell her they’re jealous and want to ruin us” – Luke Littler opens up on partner Faith’s struggles dealing with relationship spotlight
Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy and PDC World Champion, has spoken candidly about the challenges his new girlfriend, Faith Millar, faces in the spotlight of their high-profile relationship. In an interview with *DartStream Live* following his Australian Darts Masters victory on August 11, 2025, Littler revealed how he warned Millar, a 19-year-old beautician from Wigan, about the negativity they would encounter online, saying, “There’s negativity, but I just tell her they’re jealous and want to ruin us. I tell her not to look at it, just to focus on what we’ve got.”
#### Relationship Under Scrutiny
Littler and Millar’s relationship, confirmed in May 2025 after months of speculation, has been a focal point for fans and critics alike. The couple, who were childhood friends before their romance blossomed, went public with a kiss after Littler’s 10-6 World Matchplay quarter-final win over Andrew Gilding in July 2025. Their bond was further highlighted during the Australian Darts Masters, where Millar accompanied Littler, enjoying sightseeing activities like feeding kangaroos and cuddling koalas. Littler praised her support, saying, “She’s an amazing woman. As soon as I asked her [to come to Australia], she said yes. I don’t think she thought she’d ever get the chance.”
However, the spotlight has brought intense scrutiny. Littler admitted that Millar has struggled with the online hate, noting, “It’s been tough. At the start of last year, I was always looking at the comments online, and she’s been looking at them too.” This echoes the abuse Littler faced during his previous relationship with Eloise Milburn in 2024, which prompted him to hire a social media specialist to filter comments. Posts on X from outlets like @SunSport and @Oche180 amplified Littler’s protective stance, with the former quoting his warning to Millar: “They wanna ruin us.”
#### Rising Above the Negativity
Littler’s advice to Millar reflects his growing maturity in handling fame’s darker side. He encouraged her to ignore the trolls, a strategy he employed during the Australian Darts Masters when hecklers called him “washed” and shouted “rubbish” during his matches. His response was emphatic, as he clinched the title with an 8-4 win over Mike De Decker, stating, “The darts did the talking.” His confidence was palpable, declaring, “This is the most confident I’ve felt in a very long time,” fueled by his recent World Matchplay triumph and the Australian victory, which ended a five-month title drought.
#### A Supportive Partnership
Millar’s presence has been a stabilizing force for Littler, who traveled to Australia without his parents for the first time. “I knew my mum and dad weren’t coming, and that was tough, but I’ve got Faith with me now,” he said. Their shared moments, from public appearances at events like a BoohooMan Q&A to casual outings in Sydney, have strengthened their bond, helping them weather the storm of online criticism. As Littler prepares for the New Zealand Darts Masters, Millar is expected to join him, further cementing her role as a key supporter in his meteoric rise.
Littler’s proactive warning to Millar before going public—coupled with his defiant response to trolls—underscores his determination to protect their relationship. As he eyes defending his PDC World Championship title in December 2025, with a historic £1 million prize at stake, Littler’s ability to focus amidst personal and professional challenges highlights his resilience.
