Luke Littler’s team break silence on love life after striking up ‘close friendship’ with 19-year-old beautician
LUKE LITTLER’S team have broken their silence after reports that the teen sensation has struck up a close relationship with a 19-year-old beautician.
According to the Mail Online, 18-year-old Littler has become close friends with eyelash technician Faith Millar over the past month.
They claim the pair met last month and have become “inseparable” since, with Faith coming from Wigan – just 15 miles from Littler’s home in Warrington.
Littler‘s friendship with Faith is said to have seen their pals take notice of how close they are getting, with the pair regularly hanging out and Faith reportedly even meeting his parents.
It’s even thought that Faith has accompanied the PDC World Champion to public events, including a Q&A session organised by his darts sponsors BoohooMan in Manchester last week.
Amid the swirling rumours, Littler’s team have now denied that the darts star and faith are anything more than friends.
In a statement passed to DartsNews, Littler’s camp said: “[A friendship] is 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.”
Littler has his full focus on his darts at the moment after wrapping up yet another Premier League nightly win with a spectacular nine-darter on Thursday night.
While he has been jet-setting around Europe at different events over the past month, including the Dutch Darts Masters and the Belgian Open.

It was that wild schedule that reportedly led to his split from ex-girlfriend Eloise.
A source told the Sun after their breakup: “Luke and Eloise tried hard to make their relationship work but with his darts schedule, he is travelling non-stop and it has become increasingly difficult for them to spend quality time together.
“He is so focused on his sport and that is taking up so much of his time.
“Calling time on their relationship seemed to be the only way forward.”
Littler has not been in a relationship since splitting from ex-girlfriend Eloise, 21, in July.
But he recently admitted he has been inundated with requests to meet up with girls since his success at the oche.
Speaking to the Mail, he said: “Extra attention comes with me winning the world title and certain reporting restrictions are lifted at the age of 18 so that will have an impact.
“And if I keep winning, I’m not making it easier for myself, am I?
“I have had a few requests from girls to meet up, but I generally don’t reply.
“It’s just people looking at me and the money I am making, and they want part of that.”
