LITTLER RIDING HIGH WITH FAITH BY HIS SIDE
26/04/2026 By Aaron Nijjar
LUKE LITTLER admits his girlfriend Faith has been “massive” in helping him cope with life at the very top of world darts.
The couple met in February 2025 and since then Littler has gone on a stunning run, winning every ranked major title except the European Championship.
The world No.1 revealed having a strong support system away from the oche has been vital to his success.
Littler has taken the sport to new heights since bursting onto the scene but insists staying grounded at home is key to his success.
He said: “It’s very good, obviously it’s what you need as a dart player.
“When I’m at home I turn to the family more and obviously Faith (as well).
“She’s been massive for me and we’ve got a very good relationship.”
The Nuke has become the poster boy of the game since his meteoric rise and has even landed a staggering 10-year, £20million deal with Target.
Littler, 19, says he’s seen the impact first-hand and believes the sport is only heading towards bigger stages.
He added: “It’s gone absolutely crazy. “I’ve been a big part of it, and it’s growing every day.
“With Target Darts, I’ve seen sales from other countries — America was up about 1,000%. That shows how big it’s getting.
“In the next few years, I think venues will get bigger, even Alexandra Palace. I’m sure there’ll be bigger venues for the majors.”
Littler currently sits second in the Premier League table and trails Jonny Clayton by only three points.
The Warrington whizkid is aiming to become the first player this season to claim five nightly victories when he takes on Josh Rock in Aberdeen.
