Luke Littler capped off a sensational night at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens by confirming his relationship with his fun-loving beautician girlfriend after clinching the 2025 World Matchplay title.
The 18-year-old secured £200,000 in prize money and became the youngest player ever to complete darts’ prestigious Triple Crown, by defeating James Wade 18-13.
His haul was just the latest milestone in a year where he bagged £500,000 for the World Championship and earned in excess of £500,000 from Premier League success, propelling his career earnings to over £1.5 million.
In a breathtaking display on the night, Littler logged a 107.24 three-dart average, a 42 per cent checkout rate, and no less than 17 180s.
In front of the cameras on Friday, the world champion shared a passionate kiss with Faith Millar, 19, prior to his quarter-final clash with Andrew Gilding.
And after his triumph on Sunday, Littler finally confirmed that the pair are an item, after months of insisting they were merely friends.

In a post-match interview, the teenage sensation confirmed his relationship with Faith Millar

A reporter said to the teenage sensation in an interview: ‘Your family and girlfriend are here’, to which Littler nodded his head.
The gesture was all but a verbal admission that he and Faith have gone official.
The pair were first pictured together in May when Littler shared a photo of them together to his 1.9million followers on Instagram.
Mail Sport had exclusively revealed in March that the duo had bonded, though a source insisted they were just pals.
A source said at the time: ‘Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another’s company a lot.
‘Faith and Luke met a few weeks ago. They just clicked and since then have spent quite a bit of time with each other.
‘They live quite close to each other so it’s been easy to meet up.
‘Faith has met Luke’s mum and dad and some of the friends he grew up with and she’s been round to his mansion a few times.

Both Luke and Faith were keen to play down their relationship for months and insist that they were just friends
‘Faith was with him at a BoohooMan event on Monday.
‘But despite trying to stay in the background, she’s been pestered quite a bit by his fans who are keen to know who she was.
‘But there’s no bit story there – she’s a very ordinary, very sweet, normal girl.
‘‘She works as an eyelash technician in Wigan but realises the fact that she hangs around with Luke, who is really famous, means that people will show her a bit of interest as well, she realises that.
‘Faith is a very sweet girl, very bubbly and kind. It’s no surprise that she and Luke get on so well.’
Faith declined to comment about the friendship when approached outside her family home.
But a spokesman for Littler confirmed that he and Faith had struck up a friendship but said: ‘That’s as far as it goes, they are just good friends for now. Nothing more.
‘Luke doesn’t want a girlfriend at the moment, he’s focusing on his darts and is too busy travelling around the country to start up a relationship.’
A source told MailOnline that the pair ‘clicked’ earlier this year and have since ‘spent quite a bit of time with each other’
Littler’s became the youngest and only the fifth player ever to complete darts’ Triple Crown
Millar comes from Wigan, just 15 miles from Luke’s home in Warrington, Cheshire.
Littler previously dated beauty consultant Eloise Milburn, who watched on at the 2024 World Darts Championship as an unknown Littler became an instant sensation by reaching the final.
However, Littler reportedly ended the relationship in July of last year after his hectic schedule made it difficult for the pair to spend time together.
Sunday night’s win has placed Littler in rarefied air. He is now just the fifth man ever – alongside Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, and Luke Humphries – to complete Triple Crown.
This includes winning the PDC World Championship, Premier League, and World Matchplay titles.
Littler achieved the monumental milestone after just one and a half years as a professional.
