As the World Darts Championship reaches its climax this afternoon, 16-year-old Luke Littler will take on world number three Luke Humphries to compete for a £500,000 prize.

Littler was the breakout star of the tournament after becoming the youngest player ever to reach the final, and he has wowed fans at every stage by beating established players, including some of his heroes.

But while all eyes are on Littler as he battles it out against Luke Humphries in the final of the tournament, what about the women behind the successful players on the brink of glory?

Littler, from Warrington, and Humphries, from Newbury but now based in Crewe, will take center stage at Alexandra Palace this afternoon, where the eyes of the venue – and the nation – will be on them.

And as they go head to head, they will all be cheered on by their supporting partners who have been with them since the start of the tournament: Eloise Milburn and Kayley Jones.

Here, FEMAIL takes a deep dive into the lives of the women behind each darts supremo…

She is a darts player herself and represents the Surrey Women’s darts team. It’s no wonder that Eloise Milburn watches Luke ‘the Nuke’ Littler’s nail-biting matches during the tournament with immense concentration on her face.

Eloise, from Surrey, is keeping a low profile as she supports her boyfriend and his family at the championships, although she has been spotted with him in recent football matches. She will be present again tonight for his semi-final against former world champion Rob Cross.

Yesterday it emerged that Eloise and Littler’s romance is only six weeks old, after the pair met while playing FIFA on Xbox.

MailOnline revealed yesterday that the teenage darts sensation started talking to 21-year-old Eloise Milburn about four months ago, with the two bonding as they shared their love of darts and the football video game.

Despite living on opposite sides of the country, a romance has developed between the pair and Eloise has been pictured at Ally Pally throughout the tournament.

A friend who did not want to be named told MailOnline: ‘Eloise loves darts and FIFA, as does Luke, and they have a lot in common. They started talking on Xbox and things developed from there.

‘She’s a great girl and is a very good darts and FIFA player herself, so you could say they make the perfect couple as Luke is also very passionate about both things. She is very proud of his achievements and fully supports him.”

Little is known about how Eloise and Luke met. But the 21-year-old theater enthusiast might have charmed the prodigy with her singing voice – with a clip of her singing a cover of British singing icon Adele’s number one hit ‘Easy on Me’ racking up 2,500 views on TikTok.

As well as her other half’s fairytale performance at Ally Pally, Avon representative Eloise is also a fan of Crystal Palace FC, sharing videos of herself at the London 2022 FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

She has also recently suffered from cancer after having a tumor removed from her leg. Eloise opened up about her ordeal and shared photos of her surgery, writing on TikTok: ‘Recovery was hard but finally here ❤️ #operation #cancerscare #recovery #staystrong.’

World number three Luke Humphries’ partner is Kayley Jones, a mother-of-two from Cheshire.

The Sun reports that Kayley has two children, son Rowan and daughter Grace, and she appears to be a stay-at-home mom.

Reports suggest that Luke became a father for the first time to Rowan in 2022.

When Rowan was born, Luke posted on Facebook: ‘Absolutely overwhelmed to welcome mine and Kayley Marie’s son into the world last night at 10:09pm, weighing 3.5lbs!

“I was absolutely blown away by how amazing Kayley was while she was going through all of this. she was incredibly strong during the birth and I am so proud of her.

“We called him ‘Rowan Ellis Humphries.’ They’re both doing well and they’re home now!’

Although Kayley occasionally posts family photos and updates on social media, she keeps a relatively low profile, preferring to fly largely under the radar while her partner hogs the spotlight on the darts stage.
