Luke Littler was joined on stage by his girlfriend, Faith Millar, following his £200,000 World Matchplay victory on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, where he also sent her a heartfelt message. The 18-year-old darts prodigy defeated James Wade 18-13 in a thrilling final, becoming the youngest-ever champion and completing the prestigious Triple Crown. After the win, Littler beckoned Millar, a 19-year-old beautician from Wigan, to join him on stage for a celebratory photo with the Phil Taylor Trophy, marking a public affirmation of their relationship. During his on-stage interview with Sky Sports’ Polly James, who noted that his parents and girlfriend had been shown on the big screen, Littler responded, “I am just so happy, I think they had been a bit nervous this past week and I have definitely put them through it in training and in games. But I am very happy to spend a long 10 days in Blackpool and I have come through victorious.” This message, while directed at his family, implicitly included Millar, reflecting his gratitude for her support amid the tournament’s pressures.
The couple’s bond, which evolved from a denied friendship to a confirmed romance after a public kiss before his quarter-final, was evident as Millar watched from the crowd. Littler’s win, marked by a 107.24 average and 17 maximums, came after months of speculation about their relationship, with Millar attending key events like the US Darts Masters. His message underscored the emotional weight of her presence, especially after overcoming a 5-0 deficit, turning the night into a personal triumph as much as a professional one at 11:15 PM WAT on July 27, 2025.
