STEPHEN “The Bullet” Bunting is the reigning Darts Masters champion and ranked No. 8 in the world.
His partner Keila gave birth to their second child in November 2024 — here’s everything we know about the dart’s player’s wife.
Stephen Bunting made a cracking start to the 2024 season after he beat Michael van Gerwen to win the Cazoo Darts Masters — his very first televised PDC title.
He and his wife welcomed a new baby boy into the world nine months to the day later.
The 39-year-old revealed that his partner Keila gave birth to their second son Theo on November 7, 2024.
And Stephen was back at the oche just two days after the birth, beating Wessel Nijman 5-4 in his Grand Slam of Darts opener.
After the victory, he was asked how his second son and wife were doing, as well as the timing of baby Theo being born.
Stephen replied with a cheeky grin: “I’m saying nothing. But there will not be another baby.”
Keila fully supported her husband’s decision to play, with him saying: “I had her full blessing to come, obviously it has been a bit difficult.
“But they are getting discharged from hospital today and that has been a Godsend.
“I’ve got my other lad here putting me through my paces and my manager is here looking after me.
“I am away from Theo, but I know he is getting well looked after by Keila and her mum, there is family around.
“If I keep winning, we will all be in a good position.”
He added: “It’s massive motivation and it is great to be a dad for the second time, just the emotion of the last few days, it has been up and down.
“But I am fully focused on the darts, I can go home, I can FaceTime Theo and my missus.”
Stephen announced the birth with a touching social media post reading: “Myself, Keila and Tobias would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Bunting household.
“Thanks for all the well wishes and messages. Much appreciated. Mother and baby doing fine.”
While her husband’s career is very much in the public spotlight, Keila prefers to keep things more private.
They welcomed their first son Tobias in 2012.
The couple’s shared interest in darts is apparent, with Keila being knowledgeable about both the sport and its equipment.
She has promoted Stephen’s Gen 5 Darts from Target, which he used while winning the Masters.
Keila also sells memorabilia from his matches, including shirts he wore while competing, to fans on X/Twitter.
