Who is Kayley Jones and how many children does she have with Luke Humphries? 

Kayley Jones, born in 1994, is the partner of world darts No. 3 player, Luke “Cool Hand” Humphries. 

Some reports say the pair have been together since they were teenagers, but it seems that they aren’t married. 

Kayley has two children, Grace, born in 2013, and Rowan Ellis, born on October 9, 2022. 

The family live together in Crewe, Cheshire

It is unclear whether Kayley had her firstborn child, Grace, with her darts champ partner or with a former partner, as some online sources say Luke became a father for the first time in 2022. 

Kayley stays low-key on social media, but shares photos of her family with her followers. 

She shared a photo of her eldest child Grace on her birthday on Instagram, with the caption: “Happy 10th birthday Gracie” and a heart emoji. 

Luke shared the news of the couple’s new baby in 2022 with his Facebook followers: 

“Absolutely overwhelmed to welcome mine and Kayley Marie’s son into the world last night at 10:09pm, weighing 7 pound 9 and a half! 

“Absolutely in awe off how amazing Kayley was, going through it all. she’s was incredibly strong throughout labour and am so proud of her. 

“We have named him ‘Rowan Ellis Humphries’ both are doing fine and settling in at home now!”
