The couple’s relationship had previously attracted public attention due to their age difference—Littler was 16 and Milburn 21 when they began dating. This led to online backlash, with Milburn facing accusations of being a “gold digger.” Despite Littler’s initial defense of their relationship, stating he would “stick with [Milburn] whether people like it or not,” they parted ways in July 2024.
Littler’s career has been on a meteoric rise, with significant achievements including becoming the youngest winner of the World Darts Championship and amassing over £1 million in prize money in 2024.
The recent breakup has sparked discussions about the personal challenges faced by young athletes who achieve rapid fame and wealth. While Littler has not publicly commented on the specifics of the breakup, he continues to focus on his career, preparing for upcoming tournaments such as the Bahrain Darts Masters.
As Littler’s professional journey progresses, his experiences highlight the complexities that young sports stars may encounter in their personal lives amidst public scrutiny and professional commitments.
