The couple, 18 and 19 respectively, went public with their relationship in July by sharing an intimate kiss before Litter's World Matchplay Darts quarter-final in Blackpool.
And Littler has been happy as Larry since coupling up with Millar, who joined him Down Under for the Australian Darts Masters.
He told DartsStream Live: "She's a lovely lady, Faith.
"I think it's sort of what I needed. I knew my mum and dad weren't going to come.
"And as soon as I asked the question, she was like, 'Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get the chance." So I said, 'You can come with me.'"
Litter is still getting to grips with being a global superstar after being thrust into the limelight two years ago.
His relationship with Millar is now also in the spotlight and has been the subject of criticism from vile online trolls.
Littler has become adept at blocking out the "negativity" aimed their way by trolls, who he reckons are "jealous" of the life they're living.

"But I just said, 'Just don't look at it and just focus on what we've got."
Millar's presence in Wollongong proved to be a good luck charm as Littler got his hands on the Australian Darts Masters trophy thanks to an 8-4 win over Mike De Decker in the final.

Aussies who work full-time get four weeks off a year. Now the STAGGERING amount of holidays AFL stars get has been revealed - and greats of the game say it's a joke
The AFL is being mocked after revelations some footy players receive at least 93 holiday days a year while the average Australian full-time worker gets just four weeks of leave. Channel Seven commentator Kane Cornes has taken aim at the league for the astonishing amount of leave players receive every year. Swans coach Dean Cox recently revealed his team's schedule, stating that first-to-fourth-year players would return to training on November 10 while senior players would come back on November 24, with the team playing their last match on August 23. Cornes called the situation a 'joke' while footy great Nick Riewoldt quipped that 'AFL footy will remain a part-time job in 2026'. 'Their (Sydney's) last game is on August 23,' Cornes said on The Agenda Setters. 'Their senior players are back on November 24. Kane Cornes (pictured) called the situation a 'joke' and believes that coaches should be spending more time with players in the preseason 'That is a 93-day break for our AFL players and you are telling me these are full-time players. 'It is a joke and no wonder the skill level (is questionable and) injuries are high. It's for that reason. '(AFL players) get far too much time off (and) that's not including Christmas.' Cornes believes coaches should get more time with their players pre-season. 'It's been one of my biggest frustrations for a long time,' Cornes told SEN earlier in the year. 'I actually have been writing about this for seven years. 'Players get far too much time off and the lack of preparation is leading to this significant spate of injuries.' Cornes claimed the amount of downtime players get has 'gone way too far'. Swans coach Dean Cox recently revealed that his senior players would come back on November 24 - meaning some players will get a 93 day break (Swans star Heeney is pictured with partner Lauren Houghton) 'The AFL Players' Association have far too much power in the game. Who is going to stand up to them? 'If you're wondering why everyone is getting injured and why it's never been worse, this is why.' Cornes has spoken to coaches himself and even delved into North Melbourne's pre-season preparations as an example of how clubs only have a limited amount of time with their players. 'Clubs have had enough. You've spoken to people, I've spoken to coaches before, I've spoken to high-performance managers. They say they just do not have enough time with the players to prepare them. 'We all remember this little clip from Ross Lyon which I was staggered by: "We give them a lot of time off, I think they get three and a half days a week off. 16 hours in (at the club) and game day". '16 hours a week… I've always thought I'm going to get to the bottom of this. I have done some digging around in terms of how much leave does an AFL player get.' It comes as the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was reached in 2023, has seen AFL players receive greater leave entitlements. But Cornes continued, using North Melbourne, who failed to reach finals last year, as an example of a club which had an extended off-season break, but will have only trained for eight and a half weeks prior to their first pre-season match. 'I've used North Melbourne as the example as they didn't play finals,' he added. 'Their last game was on August 24, they returned to pre-season training for five-plus year players on November 25 - so 12 weeks of holiday in the off-season. 'They then trained for three weeks before Christmas, they broke up on December 19 - so they've had three weeks training. 'They then returned post-Christmas on January 9 - so there's another three weeks holiday and we're up to 15 weeks already and we're in January. 'Their first pre-season game is on February 22 - so they have five and a half weeks of training from January 9 to February 22 to prepare the players after Christmas. That is eight and a half weeks for the year to get ready for the most difficult sport to play in the world, the most physically demanding. 'Eight and a half weeks is not enough, so it's no wonder the high-performance staff you're speaking to, the coaches that we're speaking to… speak to a coach off the record and they'll say, "We just don't have enough time with the players".'

Ben Cousins reveals horror incident that made him lose two years' worth of memories - and he even forgot he went to rehab for his drug problem
Footy legend Ben Cousins has revealed a horror concussion not long after signing with Richmond saw him lose at least two years' worth of memories. Cousins also had no recollection of going to rehab for his well-publicised battles with drug addiction, which started during his time with the West Coast Eagles. Speaking on Mix94.5's Pete & Kymba with Ben Cousins for breakfast on Tuesday, the AFL premiership winner was asked about his strangest injury - and his response was disturbing. 'I had a concussion. This happened not long after I arrived at Richmond (ahead of the 2009 season),' the champion midfielder recalled. 'It was one of the first games that I played, it was a pre-season game, and I came off halfway through the first quarter, [I] don't remember getting hit or knocked (out) at all. 'I sat on the bench and had no memory whatsoever of the previous two or three years, and I was like a goldfish. While heavily concussed, Cousins had no recollection of going to rehab for his well-publicised battles with drug addiction (pictured, playing for the Tigers in 2010) 'Every 30 seconds to a minute, I would have no memory of the conversation that I just had, and kept going, "Why am I playing for Richmond? What's happened?" '[Richmond] go, you know, we picked you up over the summer. [I asked] "Why aren't I playing for West Coast?" No memory.' Even once the game finished, Cousins, who won the 2005 Brownlow Medal, recalled he was 'just going around in circles.' 'People were trying to fill me in on the blanks, they said, you know, you've been sacked from West Coast, you went to rehab… even someone said, you know, Chris Mainwaring had passed,' he added. 'That was like being told for the first time, [I was] so emotional, in tears, crying. 'It wasn't until the next morning or next day that I felt normal.' Cousins' redemption story in recent years has warmed the hearts of many footy fans. He endured numerous legal issues between 2010 and 2019, including drug possession, breaching restraining orders and stalking, which led to multiple stints in jail. The penny finally dropped in 2019, and now a fit and healthy Cousins is a doting father for his two children Angelique and Bobby from his previous relationship with their mother Maya. He has also carved out an impressive media career, namely as an analyst on Channel Seven's footy coverage, and appeared on Dancing With The Stars as well as breakfast radio in Perth.

Premier League new kits 2025-26: every home and away shirt ranked
It is the end of an era in the exciting world of Premier League football kits. It has been 23 years since Fulham ditched Pizza Hut for as their shirt sponsor, the first time a betting company appeared on the front of a top flight-kit. What a time we have had since. Everton's shirts adorned with the logo of Curaçao's favourite online gambling destination, which also appears on seemingly every viral video of street fights. Palace and Wolves' unforgettable ManBetX eras. Southampton having to chuck away shirts with a Chinese bookies' logo on the front after being unable to 'secure confirmation that LD Sports are still an appropriate and viable partner for the club.' All of this will be lost after this season, the last before Premier League's self-imposed ban on front-of-shirt gambling ads begins. This was decided in April 2023, but you cannot rush these things. In any case we still have one more year to enjoy all our old favourites, 11 of the 20 clubs wring the last bit of revenue from the betting industry's well-used flannel this season. This year's kit trends report includes a surprise comeback for pastel shades, the continued rise of the stylised stripe and further isolated experiments with centralised team emblems. There are few big swings for the fences and therefore fewer outright disasters. Here is who is responsible:
