In a move that has sent shockwaves through the world of darts, teenage sensation Luke “The Nuke” Littler has made a stunning personal announcement in the early hours of the morning, revealing his engagement to girlfriend Faith Millar. The 19-year-old world number one, who has been dating the 19-year-old beautician from Wigan since 2025, has once again proven that his life off the oche is just as fast-paced and dramatic as his performances on it. The news breaks just days after Netflix confirmed Littler would front a new high-stakes game show, Beat Luke Littler, where amateurs can win £501,000 for defeating him. While fans were bracing for big headlines regarding his burgeoning media career and packed 2026 schedule that includes “a few holidays” with Millar, the engagement announcement early this morning has eclipsed all else.
Littler and Millar’s relationship has been one of the most closely followed in British sport. The couple went public in March 2025, when they were seen leaving the Premier League Darts together. Despite their efforts to keep things private, Millar has become a constant presence in the crowd, famously joining Littler on stage after he lifted the World Matchplay trophy. A source previously described Millar as an “ordinary, sweet, normal girl” who has bonded well with Littler’s family. Given the strict public scrutiny he has faced since his meteoric rise, insiders say Littler has often relied on Millar for stability, admitting that nurturing a romance in the public eye has been “tough.”
The engagement marks a new chapter for Littler, who has endured a whirlwind few years. He previously split from his former partner, Eloise Milburn, in July 2024, a relationship that ended via text and was reportedly difficult to maintain due to his grueling travel schedule. However, his relationship with Millar has appeared solid, with the couple frequently seen together—even attending the 2026 Brit Awards and the Cheltenham Festival. Littler has also spoken candidly about his desire to step back and enjoy life away from the board. In a recent interview, he confirmed that 2026 would be a year for holidays with his girlfriend and family, admitting that his packed schedule has left him with little time to reflect on his achievements—a situation that has now taken a romantic turn.
While details of the proposal remain private given the early-hour announcement, fans and fellow players have flooded social media with congratulations. The announcement comes just before the scheduled airing of his Netflix darts event on October 30, ensuring that “The Nuke” remains the most talked-about figure in the sport. If Littler’s 2025 was defined by winning the World Championship and becoming the youngest world number one, 2026 is shaping up to be the year he conquers both the world of darts and matters of the heart.
