Luke Littler adds New Zealand Masters to Australia title as girlfriend Faith Millar proves good luck charm Down Under
Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy and PDC World Champion, added the 2025 New Zealand Darts Masters title to his recent Australian Darts Masters victory, completing a remarkable Down Under double on August 16, 2025, in Auckland. The world No. 2 defeated defending champion Luke Humphries 8-4 in a thrilling final at the SkyCity venue, averaging an astonishing 115 and conjuring a stunning 170 finish to seal the win (@OfficialPDC, August 16, 2025). Littler’s girlfriend, Faith Millar, proved to be his good luck charm, accompanying him to both tournaments and providing crucial support during his triumphant Antipodean campaign.
Littler’s New Zealand triumph followed a commanding performance, starting with a 6-4 win over local star Mark Cleaver, despite ending his 222-match 180 streak, which left him visibly surprised but focused (www.sportbible.com). He then dispatched Mike De Decker in the quarterfinals with a 170 checkout and outclassed Humphries in the final, extending his unbeaten run to 13 matches (@livedarts, August 16, 2025). Littler’s performance, highlighted by a 115 average, was described as “mesmerising” by the PDC, cementing his status as darts’ brightest star (@OfficialPDC, August 16, 2025). Post-match, he expressed excitement for the win, saying, “I cannot wait for Auckland now. We’ll have a few days off, and then off we go!” (@OfficialPDC, August 16, 2025).
Faith Millar, a 19-year-old beautician from Wigan, has been a constant presence, supporting Littler through both tournaments. Their relationship, confirmed publicly after months of speculation, has faced online trolling, but Littler credits Millar’s calming influence. He told DartStream LIVE, “She’s a lovely lady, Faith. I think it’s sort of what I needed” (www.sportbible.com, August 11, 2025). Millar’s presence in Australia and New Zealand, where she joined him for the Australian Darts Masters (an 8-4 win over De Decker) and New Zealand, has coincided with Littler’s success, earning her the “good luck charm” moniker among fans (@Darts180News, August 7, 2025).[](https://www.sportbible.com/darts/luke-littler-girlfriend-warning-relationship-314421-20250811)[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt4Cv65ypwg)
Littler’s Down Under dominance mirrors the strategic focus of athletes like Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin, who are preparing to lead Australia’s Davis Cup team. His ability to thrive under pressure, supported by Millar, parallels their reliance on team dynamics. Fans on X celebrated, with one post stating, “Luke Littler and Faith Millar are unstoppable Down Under! 🏆” (@TungstenTales, August 16, 2025). As Littler prepares for the US Open Darts Masters, his partnership with Millar continues to bolster his meteoric rise.
