Luke Littler, the teenage darts prodigy, has finally become an adult. The world champion turns 18 on Tuesday but is expected to have a quiet celebration as he continues to focus on the career that has brought him fame and fortune.

The arrows ace sprung to national fame last year when he stormed to the final of the World Championships aged just 16. He was beaten in the final by Luke Humphries, but went one better this year when he took the crown with a stunning victory over Michael Van Gerwen.

Since reaching the final as a 16-year-old in in January 2024, life has taken a swift turn for Littler and his family. The young star has now amassed around £1.6million in prize money, securing victories in the Premier League Darts, the Grand Slam of Darts, and various Euro tour titles.

His newfound wealth has allowed him to move into a luxurious new home with his family. His dad Anthony, mam Lisa, brother Leon and social media influencer and older sister Caitlin, a Tik Tok star, all help form a tight-knight group around the superstar. As he celebrates his big birthday, we delve into the fascinating life of Luke Littler.

Major winnings alone account for £1,118,500 of his earnings. When considering all career earnings, his total comes to an impressive £1,513,500. His triumph at Alexandra Palace saw him handed a cheque for £500,000. These winnings have propelled him to World No.2 in just a year. His largest single win was from his Premier League Darts victory, which netted him around £395,000.

Darts enthusiasts might recall Luke Littler's former flame Eloise Milburn during his striking journey to the world championship last year. At 21, the amateur darts player shared a romance with the Warrington lad before his impressive first stint at Ally Pally.

However, their relationship ended six months after his defeat in the world final against Humphries as his stardom soared. Littler ended the relationship via text message, with the "brutal" decision reportedly taking her by surprise having allegedly "come out of the blue". Tolls targeted Eloise leading Littler to plead with them to stop sending her hateful messages.

The darts star is reported to have now found love again, however, having seemingly accidentally revealed a new relationship during a gaming live stream. In an unexpected twist during a live gaming session with well-known YouTuber Angry Ginge, Littler was caught off guard when a woman's voice chimed in via his microphone stating: "I'm going to try and get some sleep because I am so tired."

According to the Mirror, pressure from the YouTuber led to a frustrated response from Littler, who exclaimed: "f--- sake. Your chat is going mad. F---off. If someone has screen-recorded that, it's in the papers in the morning. Yep, well played. Why's the volume all the way up, you f---ing idiot? " Currently, there's no confirmation regarding the identity of the mystery lady or the nature of their relationship, as Littler remains tight-lipped on the gossip.

Rather than indulging in high-end cars or lavish bling, Littler invested his winnings in real estate, choosing to rent a plush property in Warrington's exclusive Millionaire's Row. The darts star and his kin upgraded from a modest £180,000 home to a luxurious £6,000-per-month residence in the vicinity.

The reports highlight that Littler's new digs come complete with an indoor swimming pool, expansive garden, home cinema, and six bathrooms. Given his £500,000 prize earlier this month, he should be able to purchase the grand house in full, with a tidy sum left over for future extravagances.
