Luke Littler Takes New Step in Relationship with Girlfriend Faith as He Banks Huge Payday
Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy and reigning PDC World Champion, has marked a significant milestone in his personal life by taking his relationship with girlfriend Faith Millar to the next level, jetting off to New York for a romantic getaway ahead of the US Darts Masters. The couple, who went public with their romance in July 2025 during Littler’s World Matchplay quarterfinal win, celebrated the trip with intimate social media posts, showcasing their growing bond amid Littler’s meteoric rise. This comes hot on the heels of the teenager banking a massive £25,000 payday for his quarterfinal victory over Gerwyn Price at the 2025 World Grand Prix on October 10—a triumph that has him one win away from the £120,000 final prize.
The New York Getaway: A Romantic Escape for the Power Couple
Littler’s New York adventure with Millar, a 19-year-old beautician from Wigan, was a far cry from the oche’s intensity. The pair, inseparable since early 2025, shared glimpses of their trip on Instagram, including cozy dinners at iconic spots like The View from The Palm and strolls through Central Park. Millar posted a photo of them hand-in-hand overlooking the skyline, captioning it “NYC with my favorite person ❤️,” while Littler reposted with a simple “Her 💙.” The getaway, timed before the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Garden (October 17-19), where Littler is the top seed, underscores their commitment—Millar has been a fixture in his corner, from the World Matchplay kiss that confirmed their status to supporting him through his ZXF management split.
Their relationship, initially downplayed as “just friends” by Littler’s team in March 2025, blossomed publicly in July when they shared a courtside embrace after his Andrew Gilding win. Millar, who met Littler’s parents early and has visited his £1M Warrington mansion, has faced trolls but shut them down as “jealous,” telling DartStream LIVE: “She’s a lovely lady—keeps me normal.” Littler’s ex, Eloise Milburn, split with him in July 2024 over travel strains, but Millar—15 miles from his hometown—fits seamlessly into his life.
The Grand Prix Payday: £25,000 Boost Toward £120,000 Glory
Littler’s New York reward follows his “ridiculous” 3-2 comeback over Price in the Grand Prix quarters, where a 154 checkout and Price’s infamous ricochet miss (dart bouncing back into his hand) sealed the drama. The £25,000 payday lifts his PCOM to 48th (£61,500), easing Minehead risks after selective Pro Tour play amid an elbow niggle. “Gerwyn’s a warrior—fair play for the fight,” Littler posted, classily tagging Price despite the Welshman’s salty “Talk is cheap” X meme.
Now, Littler faces Humphries in the semis (October 11, 8 PM BST, Sky Sports)—a rematch of their Worlds final (Littler 7-4). A win earns £40,000 and a Sunday final vs. Smith or Clayton for the £120,000 trophy, his fourth major of 2025 after £1.5M+ from the Triple Crown. Self-managing post-ZXF, Littler’s “on my own” setup with family and Target Darts’ Garry Plummer fuels his fire.
The Couple’s Journey: From ‘Friends’ to Fiancée Vibes?
Littler and Millar’s story is darts’ ultimate fairy tale. First spotted together in May 2025 at a BoohooMan Q&A, reps insisted “just friends,” but July’s Matchplay kiss changed that. Millar, an eyelash technician, has met Littler’s parents and joined family Spain trips, shutting down trolls: “Jealous much?” Their low-key vibe—her supporting at the Australian Darts Masters—contrasts Littler’s spotlight, with him shielding her from abuse like he did ex Milburn.
Fans adore #LittlerFaith: “NYC getaway after £25k win? Power couple goals!” (100k likes). As Littler eyes Humphries, Millar’s presence—beaming in the stands during his Price win—remains his lucky charm.
| Match | Result | Key Moment | Prize Money |
|——-|——–|————|————-|
| vs. van Veen (R1) | 2-0 | 144 checkout | £7,500 |
| vs. De Decker (R2) | 3-0 | 170 opener | £15,000 |

Littler’s New York step with Millar isn’t just romance—it’s balance amid the payday grind. The Nuke’s loaded, loved, and locked for glory.
