Michael Smith wanted his wife Dagmara Malczewska banned from the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship final because he felt he might collapse under the pressure. But Dagmara swore at her and insisted on coming, and now Michael is a World Championship winner!
So, who is Michael’s wife, Dagmara Malczewska? Read on to find out.
Meet Dagmara Malczewska, Darts Champion Michael Smith’s Wife
Dagmara Malczewska and Michael Smith got married on January 5, 2019. And now, 2 days before their 4th wedding anniversary, Michael has become the world champion by defeating Michael van Gerwen in the final. What an anniversary present!
Proud of her husband, Dagmara wrote on her FB, “WORLD CHAMPION. Not just St. Helens No. 1 but World No. 1. First St. Helens PDC World Champion. Only Junior and Senior World Champion. A pain in the butt at times (definitely World Champion in the ass for me) but he worked very very hard for everything he achieved. Myself and the boys are extremely proud of him.”
Additionally, thanks to her victory, Dagmara got some extra screen time as Michael ran to hug her as soon as he won the championship.
Before the final exams, Michael wanted Dagmara to stay home because with the immense pressure of his wife keeping an eye on him, he felt like he might collapse. However, Dagmara did not miss one of the most important nights of her life.
“They’re going to be here tomorrow. She said she was coming, I said she wasn’t allowed, and then she swore at me and said ‘I’m coming,’” Michael later said. Conversely, he also added that seeing their faces and knowing they would be “even brighter” if he brought the trophy home would motivate him to succeed. And he was right! Dagmara and her children were absolutely delighted when he hit that last dart.
Children Dagmara Malczewska
Dagmara Malczewska and Michael Smith have two sons — Michael Jr. and Kasper.
Their eldest son, Michael Jr, was born on 27 March 2014. He is old enough to play darts professionally at a local level. In fact, he won his first tournament at St Helen’s Darts Academy without any training. Michael Jr is also interested in football. Last we checked (October 2022), he played his first league match at home and won 2-0.
Michael Jr. was in fourth grade at the time.
As for Kasper, he just entered Broad Oak Primary School when he was only 5 years old.
Kasper was born on September 18, 2017.
Besides Michael Jr. and Kasper, Dagmara and Michael also have one more child — their senior English Bulldog, Rubble.

Dagmara Malczewska’s work
Dagmara Malczewska is a former darts player turned artist. Today, she creates custom resin pieces. You can find her work on IG @mikasresinart, Facebook @MiKasResinArtDagmaraSmith and Twitter @MiKasResinArt.
In addition to making plastic art, Dagmara describes her work as a busy mother of two and Michael’s “personal chef.”
Dagmara even played darts at the regional level back in the day. I guess it was Dagmara and Michael’s shared passion that first brought them together.
So while Dagmara gave up darts to take care of her family, Michael continued to improve his skills every day.
The professional darts player won his first major title, the Darts Grand Slam in early 2022, and has also finished runner-up at the PDC World Championship (2019), World Matchplay (2019), The Masters (2020) and Premier League (2018). And now, he is the PDC World Darts champion.
Overall, he has won 16 PDC ranking events and two World Series titles.
In terms of cash, he has collected more than £1.5m so far – £500,000 of which came from his last win over Van Gerwen in 2023. He has spent much of his winnings on properties, one of which has also been converted into a farm.
Speaking about how important it is to him to continue winning, he said, “If I can’t pay the mortgage, we’re on the streets. We’re homeless. I know that adds pressure, but it keeps me focused. I have to be ready. It shows that what I’ve been doing for the last 12 months has worked.”
Fun Fact: Michael made his televised debut nine-dart throw in the 2020 Premier League in Dublin against Daryl Gurney.
