Marissa Ayers, the girlfriend of New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, is bringing the heat this NFL offseason.
Rumors about Ayers and Dart dating first surfaced in October 2025. The popular Instagram influencer confirmed those rumors by attending a "Monday Night Football" game between the Giants and Patriots. Since hard-launching their romance in the fall, they've attended countless events together, including the "NFL Honors" ceremony and 2026 World Cup.
"She's been amazing. I mean, I can't say good enough things about her," Dart told PEOPLE. "Things have come around so fast between us. It's really cool when you have two people who are independent what they do, but at the same time... are each other's biggest cheerleaders."
Ayers, who got her big break as a ring girl for the Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua fight, turned heads in late May when she participated in Miami Swim Week.
Although we're not sure what's next for Ayers, she went viral on Instagram this week for sharing a handful of swimsuit photos.
"How are you real," one follower commented.
"How do you just get more gorgeous every time," a second follower wrote.
"These photos are perfect," an Instagram user commented.
Year 2 for Jaxson Dart.
The Giants are entering the 2026 season with a ton of optimism about Dart, especially since he had 2,272 passing yards, 487 rushing yards and 24 total touchdowns as a rookie.
Dart, meanwhile, will have a chip on hi shoulder since he only received one first-place vote for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
“I guess more people have conversations and things to say about me sliding that has nothing to do with my play on the field,” Dart told the New York Post. “…Turn off the pictures of the players and just look at the numbers, I feel like they speak for themselves, I don’t need to argue that. I have respect for the other guys that were part of it. … It’s a chip on my shoulder for sure.”
The Giants will begin their 2026 season on Sept. 13 against the Dallas Cowboys.
