In a dramatic turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the world of professional darts, teenage sensation Luke Littler has abruptly called off his engagement to long-time partner Faith Millar.
The 18-year-old PDC sensation, who took the sport by storm with his fairytale run to the World Championship final at Alexandra Palace, made the heartbreaking decision just weeks after going public with their engagement.
Sources close to the Warrington-born star reveal that the relationship hit the rocks after Millar issued a blunt and definitive refusal to sign a prenuptial agreement.
‘No Way’
According to an insider, what should have been a celebratory period of wedding planning descended into bitter negotiations when Littler’s management team presented a robust financial agreement designed to protect the player’s rapidly growing fortune.
“Luke has gone from being a teenager with a part-time job to a millionaire almost overnight,” the source explained. “His team advised him that with the kind of money now on the table—sponsorships, prize money, endorsements—it would be professional negligence not to have a prenup in place.
“But when the documents were presented, Faith simply said ‘no way’. It was blunt. There was no discussion, no counter-offer. Just a flat refusal. Luke was devastated. He felt it showed a complete lack of respect for what he has built.”
The Littler Millions
Littler’s net worth has exploded since his miraculous run at the 2024 World Championships. While he ultimately lost the final to world number one Luke Humphries, his charisma and natural talent have made him the most marketable star in darts since the heyday of Eric Bristow and Phil Taylor.
Industry estimates suggest Littler has already banked close to £1 million in prize money, with endorsement deals with major brands pushing his annual earning potential well into seven figures.
The prenuptial agreement was reportedly structured to ensure that Millar would be “more than comfortable” in the event of a split, while protecting the core assets Littler has accumulated through his darting career.
‘It’s Not About the Money’
Friends of Millar have pushed back against suggestions she was motivated by greed, insisting that the 19-year-old viewed the demand for a prenup as a fundamental lack of trust.
“Faith has been with Luke since long before he was famous. She was there when he was just a lad from Warrington who loved his darts,” a friend said. “To her, signing a prenup felt like planning for failure. It felt like being given a exit route before they’d even walked down the aisle.
“She didn’t refuse because she wants his money. She refused because she wanted him to trust her.”
The Fallout
The cancellation is understood to have blindsided both families. Wedding venues have been contacted to cancel provisional bookings, and a planned engagement party has been shelved indefinitely.
Littler, known for his calm demeanour on the oche, is said to be “absolutely gutted” but firm in his decision.
“Luke is young, but he is not stupid,” the source continued. “He has people around him who have seen talented sportsmen lose everything because they didn’t protect themselves. He didn’t want to be another cautionary tale. He wanted Faith to be his partner, not a financial liability.”
What Next?
Both parties are currently maintaining a dignified silence on social media. Littler is expected to break his silence later this week as he prepares for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
For now, the young star is single, focused on his darts, and nursing a broken heart.
The darts world will no doubt be watching closely—both for his scores on the board, and for any signs of what went wrong off it.
