Luke Littler fights back after jealous trolls attack his relationship with beautician Faith Millar (Image via Getty) Luke Littler has opened up about the online trolling aimed at his girlfriend, Faith Millar. The 18-year-old darts sensation confirmed dating the 19-year-old beautician earlier this year after months of denial, claiming they were simply friends. Since their confirmation, they have attended some big events together, but not everyone has been welcoming. Luke Littler says some people online have been trying to 'ruin' their relationship. In a recent interview, he shared how Faith has been a much-needed source of support, especially while competing far from home. Luke Littler and Faith Millar make relationship public The two first sparked whispers of romance in early 2023, and confirmed they were dating in May when Luke Littler posted a photo of the two of them together on Instagram. Later in May, he was in Manchester for a BoohooMan Q&A event where Faith Millar was present (and met some fans and took some pictures with the darts star). In July, Faith Millar again joined Luke for the World Matchplay tournament in Blackpool. When Luke Littler won the final match, he kissed Faith Millar in front of the audience, thus making their love public on a very big stage. The victory made him the youngest player to complete darts' prestigious Triple Crown. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain (Search Here) Kneepain | Search Search Now Undo Also Read: 'He Is An Intense Individual': Kaitlyn Vincie Reveals Chilling Truth About Interviewing Kyle Busch At His Most Intimidating Point In NASCAR Luke Littler says faith is 'what I needed' despite trolls Speaking on DartsStream Live this August, Luke admitted the relationship had been 'tough' at first because of online trolling.

The couple's bond grew stronger when Faith joined him in Australia for the Darts Masters in Wollongong, which he went on to win. With his parents unable to make the trip, Luke said her company was exactly what he needed, calling her 'a lovely lady' who brings calm and support during busy tournaments. Faith is expected to join him next in New Zealand for the Darts Masters, as his winning streak continues. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

I practised quite a lot leading up to it, the most I had done in some time – and it certainly paid off as I completed the Triple Crown.' Littler knows every success then raises the level of expectation on his young shoulders. When the dream becomes a reality❤️ means the world to have my hands on the Phil Taylor trophy and complete the triple crown🏆 — Luke Littler (@LukeTheNuke180) July 27, 2025 'If you come into a tournament and you are the champion, I think people can expect you to try and defend it, because you have been there before and you have won it before, but that is not always the case,' the world number two said. 'Even this year with the Premier League, it was not easy trying to defend it – and on the night (of the final) Luke Humphries played his best darts and won it.

The 18-year-old's achievements have transcended the sport – helping darts reach to a new audience and a younger generation. 'For what I have done, it has definitely spurred a lot of people on to get into their darts,' Littler said. 'But for myself, I have got to keep winning, keep picking up trophies and get even more people involved.' World champion Luke Littler started out playing in his local pub leagues (KP Nuts Handout/Paul Cooper/PA) Littler has teamed up with KP Snacks 'Nuts for Darts' campaign, which will see one pub win an appearance from the world champion. 'There are so many pub leagues that I played in when I was younger, this is where game of darts has come from,' he said. 'That is where I started and where most of these big top players started is in pubs, so this is about giving those pubs an opportunity for an appearance from me.' :: KP Nuts are giving one lucky pub the chance to win an appearance from Luke Littler as part of the 'Nuts for Darts' campaign.
