World darts champion Luke Littler has revealed he has mostly been ignoring girls messaging to meet up after his win at Ally Pally. The teenager followed up his runner-up finish in 2024 by going all the way this time around, sealing a sensational victory over Michael van Gerwen in the final. The victory earned him a whopping £500,000 payday - all before his 18th birthday, which he celebrated this week.
Littler and girlfriend Eloise Milburn split up in the summer of 2024, with the Premier League Darts winner urging fans to avoid messaging her. "Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise saying it's her fault this and that, I myself split up with Eloise and everyone just needs give us some time, no need for everyone to message her and give her grief," he said in a statement in July.
Since then, and since the World Championship win in January, Littler has been receiving offers to meet up from a number of women. For now, though, he has not been paying them any heed. "I have had a few requests from girls to meet up. But I generally don’t reply," Littler told The Mail. "It’s just people looking at me and the money I am making, and they want part of that.
"My mum and dad told me to keep the friends I have. Give it a few years and I may meet someone along the way. "I have a couple of good friends from school and a few friends from different schools. They are doing well. They have apprenticeships, at Asda or McDonald’s, or want to be plumbers or electricians. All have good jobs and are trying to make money for themselves.".
