Luke Littler celebrated turning 19 on Wednesday and the darts world champion received a heartfelt message from his girlfriend, Faith Millar, as their romance continues
Luke Littler’s girlfriend, Faith Millar, has sent him a loving message as the darts sensation celebrates his 19th birthday. Littler and Millar have been together for nearly a year, with their romance blossoming.
Millar is a beautician from Wigan and met Littler in February 2025. She was in attendance at Alexandra Palace earlier this month as her boyfriend won the PDC World Championship for the second year in a row, banking the staggering £1million prize money.
Littler was unable to build on his success at the next event in Bahrain, losing to Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals. But the Nuke was soon back on top, winning the Saudi Arabia Masters final against Michael van Gerwen on Tuesday, the perfect early birthday present.
Wednesday saw Littler turn 19 and Millar sent him a message on Instagram. “Happy birthday my love,” she wrote accompanied by a love heart. “I love you always x.”

Littler reshared her post by adding two hearts of his own. After Millar accompanied him in Australia last year, the two-time world champion spoke highly of her.
“She’s a lovely lady, Faith,” Littler hailed. “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.’”.
Tuesday’s 8-5 victory over Van Gerwen gave him more reasons to celebrate his 19th birthday. The Warrington star raced into a 4-0 lead in Riyadh. Van Gerwen was twice within one leg of Littler at 4-3 and 5-4, but the Dutchman was unable to stop him from winning the inaugural Saudi Arabia Masters.
Littler averaged an impressive 104.84 and had a much better checkout rate than Van Gerwen. Speaking to ITV4 after the win, he said: “Obviously last week it didn’t work out in Bahrain but really glad to come over to Saudi Arabia for the first time and be the first winner.
“Michael got back into it so I had to find my form again but I’m just really glad to win. As players coming over here, we didn’t know what to expect but there’s been a brilliant turnout.”
Littler also posted on social media to mark his triumph. “Only thing missing was the golden bull,” he quipped. “Really glad to be the first winner of this tournament and looking forward to a few days away now to celebrate.”
Van Gerwen, 36, lamented: “Being 4-0 down at the beginning of the game didn’t really help me but I always keep fighting. Fair play to him. He had a fantastic tournament. Sometimes you have to take it on the chin and move on.”
Littler’s next scheduled event is back on home soill. The Winmau World Masters will take place in Milton Keynes from January 29 to February 1.
