Littler takes next step with new 'female friend' as she jets with him to New York for US Darts Masters
The 18-year-old darts sensation could be spotted cosying up to his friend in an Instagram post ahead of the tournament kicking off at Madison Square Gardens on Friday.
The picture, posted by Millar and later shared by Littler, shows the pair close together, with the 19-year-old wrapping her arm around the darts star, who is wearing sunglasses and a blue top.
Millar accompanying Littler abroad represents a next step in their relationship, with the beauty specialist already having attended a number of the world No 2's events.
They were seen leaving the Utilita Arena together in Newcastle after the Nuke won the eighth night of the Premier League and she was also at a Q&A session organised by his darts sponsors BoohooMan in Manchester in March.
Littler is enduring a challenging period at the oche, falling to a disappointing defeat in the Premier League final last month when he lost against rival Luke Humphries before crashing out of the World Cup in the first round.
He then partnered World No 1 Humphries at the competition in Frankfurt, but was targeted by the crowd from the first dart and suffered a shock defeat against home favourites Germany.
But the 19-year-old is enjoying life outside of darts, having signed a brand deal with McDonald's and appearing on Gogglebox.
The US trip comes just a week after he was seen in Spain celebrating his mother's birthday with Millar.
He shared another snap featuring his female friend, as well as eight other people as they appeared to celebrate Lisa Littler's birthday in Spain.
Littler shared the post on social media, captioning it: 'Happy birthday mum,' with a love heart emoji, Spanish flag emoji and a sunglasses emoji.
Meanwhile, in May, Littler swapped his darts for drinks as he hit the town with Millar and pals, sharing a picture of the group at a table full of beverages in a pink-lit booth in a mystery location, his arm draped around her.
She was also seen cheering him on at the O2 Arena at the end of last month as he missed out on a stunning £275,000 prize pot in the Premier League final.
Mail Sport revealed that Littler met Faith in February and that the pair were understood to have become almost inseparable since.
However, both have been keen to play down the significance of their friendship - insisting emphatically that they are not dating or in a relationship.
Millar comes from Wigan, just 15 miles from Luke's home in Warrington, Cheshire.
Eyelash beauty specialist Millar is also believed to have met Littler's parents while visiting the 18-year-old at his mansion.
A source told MailOnline: 'Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another's company a lot.
The blossoming friendship comes nine months after the world number two split from his previous girlfriend 22-year-old Eloise Milburn last June.
At 19, Millar is closer to Luke's own age than Milburn, who was in her twenties when she began dating him while he was just 17.
They split before last year's World Championship, though, and Littler has not said he has had a relationship since.

I'm 19 and my sister hasn't invited me to her 'child-free' wedding but STILL expects a gift. Am I wrong for being furious?
A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day. The bitter family feud was laid bare in a now-viral Reddit post, where the younger sibling revealed she'd been left off the invite list for her sister's wedding because she's a teen. She later received an unsolicited link to the bride's lavish gift registry. Confused by the unexpected message, the teen messaged her asking if it was in fact her registry link. 'What else could it possibly be?' her older sister responded curtly. When the younger woman asked why it was sent to her, the bride replied: '??? You're my sister'. That's when her sibling pointed out the obvious - that she wasn't invited to the wedding. The bride, undeterred, claimed that it is common for people who can't make a wedding to still give the happy couple a gift. A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day The college student, who did not name herself didn't hold back. 'Can't make it =/= not invited,' she wrote. As it transpired, the real reason for the older sister had left her off the invite list was because it was a 'child-free wedding'. 'I'm a fully grown adult,' her sister argued. A defence for the argument, with both based in America, could be the view that the 19-year-old is a minor in regard to the country-wide drinking law of over 21. To which the younger sibling then pointed out the irony of the situation, writing that they were having a dry wedding - so it really shouldn't matter. Things quickly spiralled with the bride dismissing the argument altogether. Still standing her ground, the teen reiterated that she was an adult. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word But the bride doubled down. 'It's my wedding and you're a teenager. It's clear by your reaction to my own wedding you are not mature enough to attend adult events or exist in adult spaces,' she said. Naturally, the exchange sparked a frenzy online, with thousands rushing to the teen's defence and labelling the bride 'entitled' and 'completely out of touch'. 'It's customary if you can't make it - not if you aren't invited at all. Your sister is delusional,' one Reddit user declared. 'And children aren't expected to give gifts at a wedding, regardless of whether they're invited.' 'This is the perfect response,' one said of the teen's blunt messages. 'And yes, OP needs to drag the parents into this too. Bridezilla is their creation.' Others were equally savage. 'Sis is being a child, who needs an etiquette lesson,' one wrote. 'Who begs a college kid for a gift and throws a hissy fit when she gets a reasonable no?' 'This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Older teens aren't children regarding being invited to a wedding - and mine was child free,' one more added. While the bride may have been expecting an air fryer or a fancy blender, it seems all she received was a viral roasting and a lesson in wedding etiquette. More hilariously, it was all courtesy of a Gen Z sibling who doesn't suffer fools (or unsolicited registries) lightly. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word. 'It's my money. Not getting a gift. And begging for expensive crap from a broke college student is cringe as hell,' the younger sister wrote. 'You're being immature and unsupportive,' the bride replied. The final reply was perhaps the pettiest of all. '*Fart noises*,' the youngest wrote. 'My point stands,' the eldest concluded.

Disney World fans left emotional over latest addition to theme park: 'Can't wait'
Disney World has shared the star-studded lineup of musicians set to perform at the theme park over the next few months - and fans were left emotional after noticing one particular band on the roster. Disney announced earlier this week that The Beach Boys would be taking to the stage as part of the Eat to the Beat Concert Series during the 2025 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, more than six decades after the rock group was first formed. The festival takes place from August to November and sees a bunch of special food and drink offerings around the park, as well as a series of dazzling musical performances. The Beach Boys will close out the event, and are set to perform on November 16 and 17 at the America Gardens Theatre in EPCOT. Other stars on the roster includes a slew of new performers like KT Tunstall, Bowling for Soup, Ben Rector, The Wanted 2.0, and Jordin Sparks, as well as some returnees like *NSYNC alum Joey Fatone, Smash Mouth, Hanson, The Fray, STARSHIP, Hoobastank, and David Archuleta. The Beach Boys became an iconic and legendary rock band following their rise to fame in the 1960s. The band was founded by brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, along with their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Unfortunately, all three brothers have since died, so the performance at Disney's Epcot will likely be put on by Mike and Al. The news that The Beach Boys would be performing sparked a fierce reaction online, as hoards of fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their excitement. 'The Beach Boys. Can't wait. RIP Brian,' one user wrote. Another responded to the announcement: 'The Beach Boys... nice.' 'LET'S GO,' gushed another excited person. 'May need to [buy the] dining package for The Beach Boys,' read a fourth tweet. 'Jordin Sparks!!!! Bowling For Soup!!! And The Beach Boys!???? They ate with this lineup!!!' a fifth said. The main event is located at the America Gardens Theatre stage in EPCOT, between Italy and Japan, per Disney Parks Blog. During a free performance, seating is first-come, first-served, and it fills up quickly. The outlet recommends planning ahead to make sure you have a comfortable spot to enjoy the music. Those who want to ensure they have a good spot can purchase the Concert Series Dining Packages, which offers a 'delicious meal and guaranteed seats to an Eat to the Beat concert.' It ranges in price depending on what restaurant you choose from $50 to $99. It includes 'an entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (where applicable) - as well as a nonalcoholic or alcoholic beverage' at 'most participating restaurants' as well as 'one guaranteed seat per person' at the concert. However, the packages are only available from Fridays through Mondays and vary in price based on the restaurant, per Walt Disney World.

Justin Bieber blows off steam as he goes shooting with friends on guys' trip
Justin Bieber took to Instagram on Sunday with a slew of photos from what appeared to be a trip with friends. The 31-year-old superstar — who shared a cryptic four-word post on Saturday — shared snapshots of himself shooting at a target in the woods. He bared his heavily tattooed arms and torso while going shirtless and wearing a pair of black sweatshorts. The father-of-one — whose son Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey, will turn one this month — sported black socks and white slippers. Justin wore a pair of sporty, translucent sunglasses and protective electronic ear muffs. He didn't bother captioning the images, which he spread out over multiple posts. One snapshot showed the music artist sitting in the backseat of a van while music producer Carter Lang drove and other guy friends piled in. Another picture showed Justin in a slogan sweatshirt with his infamous quote, 'It's not clocking to you.' It comes after the Daisies hitmaker appeared online Saturday evening to share a vague post with his 294 million Instagram followers. He shared a closeup black and white selfie and added a cryptic caption: 'Broke another olive branch.' The lifelong performer didn't add any context, but he could have been hinting at ending another friendship after a June post included screenshots from a heated text exchange he had with a former buddy. In February a rep for the star told TMZ he's had a 'very transformative' past year, in which 'he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.' Last week the singer admitted to 'selfish' behavior in another social media caption, writing, 'Thanking Jesus for his patience with me this morning. I can be extremely selfish and impatient yet Jesus always has his arms open toward me.' The boys' day out posted on Sunday seemed to also include music-making, as Justin shared photos singing into a studio microphone. There were also outtakes of the global star holding a guitar while dressed in a gray sweatshirt. Justin released his surprise seventh studio album, SWAG, to great fanfare on July 11. Several songs make mention of his public persona, personal struggles, and his commitment to his wife Hailey and their baby. There is also a theme of interludes featuring comedian Druski, in which Justin engages in candid 'therapy sessions' with the social media star. Rumors have recently circulated that the music sensation will tour Australia following the album release. Justin has not confirmed whether he will be touring, nor has Frontier Touring, who told Rolling Stone it had no information on any potential Australian tour dates.
