What Happened
Fallon Sherrock and Cameron Menzies, both professional darts players and often thought of as a “power couple” in the sport, ended their four-year relationship.
The split was revealed by former pro Vincent van der Voort on the Darts Draait Door podcast.
Van der Voort confirmed the breakup, saying that Sherrock had told him, but he didn’t know the full reasons (and that he hadn’t asked).

Key Details & Background
The pair’s relationship began through an online darts league where they played in a doubles team.
Over the years, they were publicly supportive of each other—cheering at matches, practising together, etc.
Sherrock, known as the “Queen of the Palace,” has made headlines not just for her achievements on the oche but also for dealing with health issues (including kidney problems) which have led her to plan a break from darts to focus on recovering.

What Isn’t Known
The specific reason(s) for their breakup have not been publicly disclosed. Van der Voort and the media have reported that Sherrock told him, but neither she nor Menzies has given a detailed explanation in public.
There has been no official joint statement clarifying whether the split was due to personal differences, pressures from their careers, health concerns, or something else.

Possible Influences / Speculation (Unconfirmed)
While these are not confirmed as causes, media coverage and what has been reported suggests some surrounding pressures that could have played a role:
Sherrock’s health concerns (kidney issues) and her announcement of taking time off from competitive darts to “get well again.”
The strains of being professional dart players—travel, tournament schedules, public scrutiny—may contribute generally in such situations.
The fact that Menzies was absent from Sherrock’s matches where he might normally have been present, particularly during high profile events like the Women’s World Matchplay, has been noted. Whether that reflects anything directly connected to the split is speculative.

Sherrock and Menzies have split after four years together.
No detailed reason has been made public.
They both remain very active in darts, and Sherrock especially has emphasised her need to focus on health and well-being. Whether more information or statements will emerge is unclear.
