When it comes to sports, fans love a good fairytale both on and off the stage. For years, Fallon Sherrock and Cameron Menzies gave us exactly that—a love story born out of darts, laughter, and even the simplest of things, like their shared love for KFC. But just as quickly as a perfect 180 can turn into a bust, their romance has now ended after four years together.
The news of their split wasn’t announced in a glossy press release or a dramatic Instagram post it came quietly, almost unexpectedly, through a podcast chat with former tour player Vincent van der Voort. Without much detail, Van der Voort confirmed the couple had gone their separate ways. For fans who have followed Fallon’s rise from “Queen of the Palace” to global darts icon, this revelation hit differently.
Sherrock has always been admired for breaking barriers in darts. She became the first woman to win at the World Championship in 2019, a historic moment that earned her worldwide respect. Alongside her personal victories, fans watched her relationship with Menzies blossom from playful practice sessions at home (where she often got the better of him) to being one another’s biggest cheerleaders on the big stage.
But when Fallon stepped up to the oche at the Women’s World Matchplay final in Blackpool this summer, Cameron was nowhere in sight. His absence spoke louder than words. The pair, who had once been inseparable, even removed pictures of each other on social media. For fans, this silence only confirmed what many had feared: darts’ favorite couple was no more.
Why did they split? That remains a mystery. Even Van der Voort, the one who let the news slip, admitted he didn’t ask for details. Maybe the reasons are personal. Maybe the stress of professional darts schedules took a toll. Or maybe, like many relationships, it just ran its course.
Still, their story leaves behind fond memories. Fallon and Cameron weren’t just partners in life; they were partners in darts. They practiced together, pushed each other, and showed the world what it looked like when love and competition collided. Cameron himself once said he felt “lucky” to have someone as talented as Fallon by his side both on and off the dartboard.
Now, as Fallon takes a year-long break to focus on her health, her fans can only hope this setback both personal and professional will fuel an even stronger comeback. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from her, it’s that Fallon Sherrock is a fighter. Whether on stage or in life, she knows how to rise again.
The Queen of the Palace may have lost her king, but her throne in darts remains untouched.
