Luke Littler has admitted warning his girlfriend Faith Millar about trolls targeting their relationship, with the darts sensation claiming ‘jealous’ people want to ‘ruin us’.
The 18-year-old last month confirmed his relationship with Millar, 19, after months of insisting they were merely friends.
Littler had kissed the beautician during World Matchplay event in Blackpool, where the world champion triumphed to become the youngest player to complete dart’s prestigious Triple Crown.
Millar has since joined Littler in travelling to the Australian Darts Masters, with ‘The Nuke’ also emerging triumphant in Wollongong.
Littler, speaking on DartsStream Live, opened up about his relationship with Millar.
He admitted that it had initially been ‘tough’ with people trolling their relationship online, but insisted those making comments were jealous.

‘Yeah, it’s been tough,’ he said.
‘Obviously, at the start of last year, I was always looking at the comments. And she’s been having a look [at the] negativity.
‘But I just said, “They’re jealous. They wanna ruin us.”
‘But I just said, “Just don’t look at it and just focus on what we’ve got”‘.
Littler also added that Millar presence Down Under was what he needed with his parents not making the long trip.
‘She’s a lovely lady, Faith,’ he said.
‘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.'”
The pair were first pictured together in May when Littler shared a photo of them together to his 1.9million followers on Instagram.

Daily Mail Sport had exclusively revealed in March that the duo had bonded, though a source insisted they were just pals.
Littler’s triumph at the World Matchplay last month has seen his career earnings surpass the £1.5million mark.
He raked in £200,000 in prize money by winning the tournament, having already won £500,000 for winning the world title and in excess of £500,000 from Premier League success.
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.
