New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart may be one of the biggest stars in the NFL right now, but his girlfriend Marissa Ayers also knows how to make a splash. The 23-year-old model and influencer recently made her runway debut at Miami Swim Week, wearing a White Fox Boutique bikini that instantly turned heads. Dart had front-row tickets to the show, which was called La Tropica and was held at the Setai.

Ayers later shared photos from the show as well as behind-the-scenes snaps on her Instagram, describing the experience as “a dream come true”. Her boyfriend, also 23, didn’t hold back the praise as he reposted one of her photos on his Instagram Stories, writing, “So proud of you!” and “You killed it babyy” while calling her “Mineee”. The couple then hopped on a plane to watch the NBA finals together.

Dart had a brush with controversy last month after he introduced US President Donald Trump at a rally held at Rockland Community College. However, his love life seems to be unaffected by politics.
Here’s everything to know about Marissa Ayers.
Where is Marissa Ayers from?

Ayers hails from Georgia, but, according to People, she has relocated 17 times so far. She grew up with her parents, who separated when she started secondary school, and her older sister, whom she calls her “complete opposite”. As a child, Ayers did gymnastics competitively for over a decade, but took up cheerleading in high school after struggling with burnout.
What does Marissa Ayers do for work?

Ayers studied communication at the University of Alabama, majoring in public relations and advertising. When she was 18, Ayers collaborated with swimwear brand Vylvet Swim to create a bathing suit line called Planet Pink, which, she says, sold out within 15 days.

Besides working with brands like Revolve, Skims and Lancôme as a model and influencer, Ayers is also a ring card girl for Jake Paul’s sports promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions.
She appeared in several boxing matches last year, rising to prominence during Katie Taylor’s bout with Amanda Serrano in July. In December, she was also a ring girl for Paul’s Judgment Day showdown against Anthony Joshua and for Jahmal Harvey’s fight against Kevin Cervantes. The matches were broadcasted on Netflix.
What is Jaxson Dart and Marissa Ayers’ relationship like?

Ayers was first linked to Dart in October 2025, when the two seemingly attended the same Halloween party, per People. By December that year, she was spotted in the stands with his mother, Kara, and father, Brandon, cheering for him as the Giants took on the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. The couple went public with their relationship on Instagram in January.
