The name Luke Littler poses many questions. Firstly, who is he? and secondly, why has he gone viral, and finally, how is his dating life become a controversial affair. Littler is a 17-year-old darting prodigy. The teenage Brit's immaculate flair in the sport has even earned him the nickname of "The Nuke."
Born on January 21, 2007, in Runcorn, Warrington, Luke recently single-handedly out win world's top darting legends, including Raymond van Barneveld, and Brendan Dolan.

What to Know About Luke Littler's Controversial Relationship!
The teenage darting sensation has just started in, what we know will be an unparalleled career in the darting sports’ history, and yet, Luke is already stirring some big controversy in his love life.
The recently turned 17-year-old is in a very public relationship and like that wasn’t enough to get the world sneer at Littler with a judgmental lens, his girlfriend, Eloise Milburn, is said to be older than him.
Sources say the couple shares a notable age gap of five years, which may not seem like a lot, but a legion of online spectators feel otherwise. Since the news of their romance became public earlier this year, Littler and Eloise Milburn have been battling incessant criticism over their “improper relationship.”
Many have opined that Luke getting involved with Milburn, who is 22, is not only foolish on his part, but problematic on both sides. But even with the intense amount of scrutiny, Littler and Milburn are keeping it raw and real. While dishing on the last few months of “online abuse” Luke shared how he and his girlfriend have managed to ignore the trolls.
As far as the couple is concerned, the haters can speak as they please. “We knew people would find out [about their relationship] but it started off very bad,” Luke’s girlfriend, Eloise, said. “But you learn that as long as the pair of you are happy, that’s all that matters,” said Milburn after Luke shared that he now has a social media team who are dedicated to filter out the nasty comments before it gets to him or his girlfriend.
How Luke Littler Met His Older Girlfriend?
Fans aren’t ready to believe that Luke has already found a lasting love at such tender age. The darts star has yet to call Milburn “the one”, which is probably in his best interests, but we know for a fact that the young love birds aren’t just fooling around, and it is, in fact, turning out to be a serious relationship for both parties.
There had been few swirling rumors about Luke’s romance with Milburn- about how they had crossed paths and fallen in love. The darts star has since debunked the passed around story that he met Eloise at an online gaming platform.
The twosome went on to divulge that they met at Leicester during a developmental tour in August and got close during their tournament in Milton Keynes. If their candid discourse on the impact of online hate and their relationship aren’t convincing enough, Littler and his girlfriend have also demonstrated a few more acts of love that indicates their strong bond.
Ahead of his much-anticipated third night at the Premier League in Glasgow earlier this month, Luke received a number of encouraging messages from Eloise, who took it to her Instagram to commemorate her beau’s wins and to wish him the best in his next games.
The couple was pictured sharing a kiss at premiere league’s Arsenal and Tottenham darts matches in January, which spawned more nasty comments. “We’re just going to stick together whether anyone likes it or not, I’m not bothered,” the darting prodigy said shortly after.
Get to Know Luke Littler's Girlfriend, Eloise Milburn!
The internet would be surprised to learn that Eloise has more to her than the widely circulated factoid about Milburn and the myriad of trolls, calling her a "groomer" and "gold digger". The 22-year-old is, so far, just known for her very publicized romance with the darting sensation, but little do haters know that Eloise is a keen darts player herself.
It isn't known if Milburn has achieved anything close to her prodigy boyfriend in the sport, but insiders say that Eloise, an amateur darts player, is just over the moon to see her beau go above and beyond in his career. Professionally, Milburn is reportedly a beauty consultant and also a singer. Eloise has amassed quite a number of fans on Tik Tok, where she recently revealed that she is a cancer survivor.
Amid the widespread outlash against her romance with Luke, Eloise's parents took a stand for their disparaged daughter. "Eloise has been accused of all sorts and that she's only with Luke because of his money and fame," said Milburn's hurt mother, adding, "My daughter is none of these things that these vile people are making out."
