Damn, the gossip mill never stops churning when it comes to Luke Littler's love life! The baby-faced darts phenom has finally stopped playing coy about his romantic situation and went full Instagram official with his new girlfriend. About time, honestly.

I spotted the post yesterday – a cozy snap showing the 18-year-old champion with his arm wrapped around Faith Millar, a 19-year-old beautician. And let me tell ya, they look pretty smitten.

From "just friends" to something more...

The thing that kills me is how Luke initially tried to play it cool. Back in March, he was all "we're just good friends" when people started noticing Faith popping up at his events. Classic teenage boy move if I've ever seen one.

Faith's been showing up at his sponsorship gigs (that BoohooMan Q&A in Manchester rings a bell) and has apparently already met teh parents at Luke's ridiculously fancy £6,000-A-MONTH mansion in Warrington. I mean, that's not exactly "just friends" territory, is it?

Wait, how much is his rent again?!

Six thousand pounds. Monthly. For a teenager. Let that sink in.

I remember when I was 18 and thought splurging on a £40 takeaway was living large. Meanwhile, Luke's over here with a mansion in Cheshire. The darts money must be flowing like crazy after that PDC World Championship win.

The geography makes sense

Faith hails from Wigan, which is only about 15 miles from Luke's Warrington digs. Convenient for dating, I suppose. Someone close to the couple told reporters: "Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another's company a lot." Well... that's putting it mildly based on that cuddly photo.

Listen. We all know what "firm friends" means in celebrity-speak.

What happened with Eloise?

This new romance comes about a year after Luke's split from previous girlfriend Eloise Milburn. They called it quits last June after struggling with his insane travel schedule. Poor girl was 22 and trying to maintain a relationship with someone who's basically living out of a suitcase these days.

An insider spilled back then: "Luke and Eloise have broken up and it is still very raw. He is naturally very upset but they have agreed to stay friends."

The source added that despite trying to make things work, Luke's non-stop darts commitments made quality time together virtually impossible. I've seen relationships crumble over way less than international sports schedules... my college boyfriend and I couldn't even survive different class schedules in 2018.

The curse of young fame?

It's fascinating watching these young sports stars navigate relationships under the spotlight. One minute you're a normal teenager, the next you're traveling the world, making bank, adn everyone's analyzing your Instagram posts for clues about your love life.

I wonder if Faith knows what she's signed up for.

The pressure must be immense – especially when you're both still teenagers figuring out who you are. Luke's been thrust into this wild celebrity world, and now Faith's getting a taste of it too.

My prediction? We'll be writing about another breakup by Christmas. (God, I hope I'm wrong – they look cute together!)
