Jaxson Dart’s girlfriend steals spotlight with blue swimsuit photos

1 hour ago 3

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is preparing for a highly anticipated second NFL season, but his girlfriend, Marissa Ayers, is attracting plenty of attention away from the football field. Ayers, a model and social media influencer, shared a collection of photos on Instagram this week in which she posed in a blue swimsuit. The post quickly took off with her growing audience, adding to what has already been a memorable year for Ayers.

While Dart attempts to build on an encouraging rookie season with the Giants, Ayers is continuing to establish a name for herself in the fashion and entertainment industries.

Marissa Ayers shares blue swimsuit photos

Ayers showcased the blue swimsuit while posing near the water, giving her followers another look at her modeling work. The post arrived less than two months after Ayers appeared at Miami Swim Week, where she walked the runway and continued her rise within the fashion world. She has accumulated a significant following on Instagram by sharing modeling photos, travel content and glimpses into her relationship with Dart.

Ayers initially gained widespread attention while working as a ring girl for the Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua fight. Her profile has continued to grow since then, especially as her relationship with the Giants quarterback has become more public.

Rumors connecting Ayers and Dart began circulating in October 2025. Ayers seemingly confirmed the relationship when she attended the Giants’ “Monday Night Football” matchup against the New England Patriots.

The couple has since made several public appearances together, including at NFL Honors and the 2026 World Cup. Dart spoke glowingly about Ayers and the support she has provided during an interview with PEOPLE.

“She’s been amazing. I mean, I can’t say good enough things about her,” Dart said. “Things have come around so fast between us. It’s really cool when you have two people who are independent [in] what they do, but at the same time… are each other’s biggest cheerleaders.”

That support could become even more important as Dart enters a critical season in New York.

Jaxson Dart looking to make a Year 2 leap with Giants

Dart gave the Giants reasons for optimism during his rookie campaign, finishing with 2,272 passing yards and 487 rushing yards. He produced 24 total touchdowns while showing the dual-threat ability that made him an intriguing prospect coming out of Ole Miss. His performance, however, did not generate much support in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. Dart received only one first-place vote, a result that has provided him with additional motivation entering the 2026 season.

“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 need Dart to take another step forward if they hope to compete in a difficult NFC East. His ability to protect himself as a runner, limit turnovers and become more consistent as a passer will be closely watched once training camp begins. New York is scheduled to open its 2026 season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 13. Until then, Dart will continue preparing for Year 2 while Ayers builds momentum of her own away from the field.
