Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy, secured the 2025 World Matchplay title by defeating James Wade 18-13, becoming the youngest player to complete darts' prestigious Triple Crown and earning £200,000 in prize money. During the tournament, Littler publicly confirmed his relationship with Faith Millar, a 19-year-old beautician, after months of speculation and previously insisting they were just friends. The couple shared a passionate kiss before Littler's quarter-final match, an event that drew significant social media attention and appeared to inspire his strong performance.
