Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler has reportedly split from his girlfriend Eloise Milburn, with a source describing the break-up as 'still very raw'. The 17-year-old star is said to be 'naturally very upset' but the pair have agreed to remain friends.
Milburn, 21, was a notable presence alongside Littler's family during his run to the final of the World Championship in January. The couple met on the development tour in Leicester in August last year and began dating late last year, just weeks before Littler shot to stardom at Alexandra Palace.
A source told The Sun: 'Luke and Eloise have broken up and it is still very raw. He is naturally very upset but they have agreed to stay friends. Luke and Eloise tried hard to make their relationship work but with his darts schedule, he is travelling non-stop and it has become increasingly difficult for them to spend quality time together.'
Littler previously dismissed online abuse about their age difference, saying after the World Championships: 'We're gonna stick together now. We have been going for the past few months. We're going to stick together whether anyone likes it or not, we're not bothered.' The source added that there is 'no bad blood' and Milburn remains 'completely supportive' of Littler's career.
