Darts sensation Luke Littler has publicly defended his ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn following their split last summer, urging fans to stop sending her hate online. The 18-year-old world champion took to social media to clarify that he ended the relationship and that Milburn should not be blamed.
Littler and Milburn, who met playing FIFA on Xbox, faced scrutiny due to their age gap—he was 16 and she 21 when they started dating. Milburn endured a torrent of online abuse, which her mother described as 'disgusting' and based on false accusations about her motives.
In a statement, Eloise's mum, Amanda Milburn, told the Daily Mail: 'There's been a lot of horrible stuff posted online about my daughter... She's not with him for his money or fame. It's really hurtful.' Littler echoed this, posting: 'Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise... I myself split up with Eloise.'
The couple parted ways in July 2025, and Littler has since gone public with new partner Faith Millar, who was seen cheering him on at the World Darts Championship, where he claimed his second consecutive title and the £1million prize.
