Luke Littler has spoken out on social media in defence of his ex‑girlfriend
Luke Littler showed his his class with a message in defence of ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn following the pair’s relationship breakdown last summer. Milburn had supported Littler during his sensational performance at the World Darts Championship tournament in 2024.
The pair reportedly met playing the video game series FIFA on the Xbox when Littler was 16 and Milburn was 21. However, the five-year age gap raised a few eyebrows and Milburn faced some online jibes as a result.
Amanda Milburn, Eloise’s mother told the Daily Mail at the time: “There’s been a lot of horrible stuff being posted online about my daughter and my husband Phil and I are very angry about it.
“Eloise has been accused of all sorts and that she’s only with Luke because of his money and fame. But that’s a total pack of lies and disgusting. She’s not with him for any of these reasons. She doesn’t care about his money or his fame, she’s with him because she likes him. It’s as simple as that.”
She added: “It’s really hurtful when we read these comments, many of them from so called darts fans. My daughter is none of these things that these vile people are making out.
“She’s a lovely young girl who is in a new relationship and people should allow them to get on with things.”
The darts star is believed to have ended his relationship with his former partner in July. Soon after, some online began pointing the finger at Milburn for the split.
Littler came out in defence of the now 23-year-old on social media.
“Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise, saying it’s her fault, this and that,” he wrote.
“I myself split up with Eloise, and everyone just needs to give us some time, no need for everyone to message her and give her grief.”
This year’s World Darts Championship saw Littler claim the title for the second year running. He arrived at Alexandra Palace with his new girlfriend, Faith Millar, having reportedly gone public with the relationship in July 2025.
Littler was first spotted kissing and hugging Millar at the 2025 Betfred World Matchplay in Blackpool, and she went on to make several appearances throughout the World Darts Championship.
Millar proudly watched on as her boyfriend secured victory at the event, taking home the first‑ever £1million prize.
