Darts sensation Luke Littler and his partner, Faith, have announced the end of their relationship, citing Faith’s difficulties in coping with the intense public scrutiny that came with Littler’s rising fame.
The teenage darts prodigy, who burst onto the scene with a stunning run at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, quickly became one of the sport’s most talked-about stars. However, the spotlight also extended to his personal life, with Faith frequently appearing alongside him at tournaments and in media interviews.
Struggles Under the Spotlight
Sources close to the couple revealed that Faith found it increasingly challenging to adjust to the sudden fame and relentless attention from fans and the press. While Littler embraced his newfound celebrity, Faith reportedly struggled with the lack of privacy and constant public commentary on their relationship.
“It’s been really tough for her,” a friend of the couple shared. “She never asked for this level of attention, and it started to take a toll on her mental health. Luke’s life changed overnight, but hers did too, and it wasn’t easy to handle.”
The couple had been together since before Littler’s meteoric rise in darts, with Faith often seen supporting him at major tournaments. However, as Littler’s schedule became more demanding and media interest grew, the pressure on their relationship intensified.
A Mutual Decision
In a joint statement, the pair confirmed their split, describing it as an “amicable” decision made after careful consideration.
“We’ve decided to go our separate ways,” the statement read. “This hasn’t been an easy choice, but the challenges of the last few months have made us realize that it’s the right thing for both of us. We remain close friends and wish each other the best.”
Fans have expressed their support for both Littler and Faith, with many acknowledging the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in the public eye.
What’s Next for Luke Littler?
With the breakup now public, Littler is expected to focus fully on his darts career as he prepares for upcoming tournaments, including the Premier League Darts and the World Matchplay.
As for Faith, friends say she is prioritizing her well-being and stepping away from the spotlight. “She’s a strong person, and she just needs time to adjust to life out of the public eye,” a source said.
While their relationship has come to an end, both Littler and Faith have emphasized that there is no ill will between them—just an acknowledgment that sometimes, love isn’t enough to withstand the pressures of fame.
