Dart Publicly Backs Ayers at Her Miami Swim Week Runway Debut

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart attended and publicly celebrated his girlfriend Marissa Ayers's runway debut at Miami Swim Week on 29 May 2026, watching from the front row as she walked for White Fox Boutique's La Tropica show at The Setai Miami Beach. Dart, 23, followed up by reposting an image of Ayers to his Instagram Story with the captions "So proud of you!", "Mineee," and "YOU KILLED IT BABYY." Ayers, a model, influencer, and ring girl for Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, wore a purple bikini and kitten heels on the runway.

Ayers, who graduated from the University of Alabama in May 2026, has been visible in the boxing world, appearing in the ring during the Jahmal Harvey-Kevin Cervantes and Paul-Anthony Joshua bouts. She and Dart were first publicly linked at a Halloween party in October 2025. The relationship became more widely documented in early December when Ayers was photographed with Dart's family on the sideline before the Giants' loss to the New England Patriots, and she publicly confirmed the pairing in January when she posted a slideshow of photos of the two together. The couple have since been seen at a fishing trip in January and at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby on 2 May 2026.

Dart completed his rookie NFL season having played in 14 games, starting 12. He completed 63.7 percent of his passes for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdown passes, and five interceptions. As a runner he carried the ball 86 times for 487 yards and added nine rushing touchdowns, making him one of the more productive dual-threat rookie quarterbacks in the league that season. The Giants posted a 4-8 record in his starts.

The offseason has kept Dart in the public eye beyond football. He drew attention last month when he introduced President Trump at a rally in New York, a move that generated significant commentary including public remarks from veteran broadcaster Michele Tafoya regarding Dart's relationship with teammate Abdul Carter. Heading into his second season, the Giants are looking to Dart to build on a statistically encouraging, if win-limited, rookie campaign.
