World Darts Championship finalist Luke Littler, just 16 years old, says his new relationship with girlfriend Eloise Milburn has only grown stronger since stepping into the public spotlight.
Littler and Milburn, who met while playing FIFA on Xbox, have been seen attending Premier League games between his darts matches. They were recently photographed kissing after his quarter-final win against Brendan Dolan.
“Yes, we’re going to stick together now just as we have been doing for the past few months,” Littler said. “We’re just going to stick together whether anyone likes it or not — I’m not bothered.”
Milburn, also a darts player, gifted him a stadium tour of Old Trafford, which the couple plans to do soon. Littler shared that his final-day routine involved brunch at noon — baked beans and scrambled eggs on toast — followed by Xbox, Football Manager, and a margherita pizza before the match.
Asked about his training habits, Littler admitted: “Just half an hour or 45 minutes a day. If I’m just practicing on my own, it gets boring.” He added, “It must be [natural talent], because I don’t practice.”
Despite his impressive run to the final and a £200,000 runner-up prize, Littler was eager to return home to Warrington. “It’s been crazy — now I can’t wait to go home. Plenty of days off. I can’t wait to get back on my Xbox.”
