Luke Littler is believed to be a Christian and comes from a white British family. The darts sensation, Littler, was born in Cheshire and later raised in Warrington.
He might only be 16, but Luke has achieved more than anyone can dream at that age. In an interview with BBC, Little credited his parents, Lisa and Anthony, for helping him pursue darts as a career.
His latest victory over his idol Raymond van Barneveld has skyrocketed his popularity in his hometown and around the globe. Now, Littler has earned the title “The Prince of the Palace” after his 4-1 win on Saturday night.
Before his game against Raymond, Luke shared a video of him imitating Raymond when he won the World Championship in 2007. The youngster said he was grateful that he was about to share the same stage as the darts legend in the last 16.
After going past Raymond, Littler will now face Brendan Dolan in the quarterfinals of the PDC World Championship on New Year’s Day.
Is Luke Littler Christian? Darts Players’ Religion
The English darts player Luke Little is believed to be Christian. Though the darts player has never publicly talked about his faith, his mother, Lisa, has previously shared photos of the family celebrating Christmas and getting into the festive feels.
The 16-year-old was born in Cheshire, England, and moved with his parents, Anthony and Lisa Littler, to Warrington when he was eight. The Littler family doesn’t look like the type who are too into religion.
Some families force religious beliefs on their kids from a young age. Lisa and Anthony are probably the ones who want their kids to decide on their own whether or not they want to be religious.
And again, Luke is only 16, so he has his life ahead of him to discover and understand various religious beliefs. Last year, Lisa, on her Facebook handle, shared she had finally managed time to set up her home with Christmas decorations.
On Christmas, she shared photographs of her kids opening up their gifts. Her three kids wore matching PJs and were joined by their pet dog, Nala, who also seemed to be in the festive mood, wearing her red PJ.
Luke Littler Family And Ethnicity
The darts player comes from a white British family, having spent the majority of his years in Warrington. Littler’s parents, Lisa and Anthony, do not come from an athletic background but have supported their son’s darts journey.
Luke’s mother, Lisa Littler, is a sales advisor at Yankee Candle. She started her job last year in August. His father, Anthony, works as a taxi driver.
From Facebook to X (formerly Twitter), Lisa hasn’t shied away from showing her son full support. Recently, on X, Lisa shared a photo of Luke opening his Christmas presents. She captioned the post, “Just a 16 year old opening his prezzys.”
The picture quickly went viral, with many joking that Luke looked much older than his age. Littler’s age has turned into a meme in the darts community, and with his latest victory and more media coverage, even more, have joined to poke fun at it.
Luke also has two older siblings. The darts’ newest superstar has an older brother named Leon Chuffy Littler and a sister named Caitlin Littler.
Luke’s older brother, Leon, became a dad earlier this year in September. He welcomed his son, George, with his partner, Katie, on September 25. Leon also shared a sweet picture of him feeding his son soon after the birth.
Luke’s sister, Caitlin, has shared several posts on her Facebook handle, celebrating her younger brother’s success. One of her latest posts is of Luke beating his Raymond van Barneveld.
