THE SECRET IS OUT: DART’S NEW FLAME
The quarterback of the New York Giants has finally found his First Lady, and she is no stranger to the spotlight. Jaxson Dart, who spent the better part of dodging dating rumors like defensive linemen, has officially been taken off the market. The lucky lady? Marissa Ayers, a high-profile influencer and ring card girl who just took their relationship public in a major way.
After months of speculation that had the NYC tabloids buzzing, Ayers dropped the hammer on Instagram in January . She posted a PDA-heavy snap with the QB, captioned with a cheeky “Rumor has it… @JaxsonDart.” It was the hard launch heard ’round the locker room, finally putting to bed the wild theories about Dart’s love life.
This comes after a year where Dart’s name was briefly linked to TikTok titan Alix Earle. While the internet was busy trying to manifest that power couple, Dart was apparently busy making moves on Ayers behind the scenes. Earle might be the queen of TikTok, but Ayers is the one with the keys to the QB room.
SHE’S A KNOCKOUT… LITERALLY
Ayers isn’t just sitting in the stands; she is in the ring. The Georgia native catapulted to fame as a ring card girl for Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions. She made her massive Netflix debut in July , strutting her stuff at Madison Square Garden during the historic Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight.
“The little girl inside of me who is screaming to have stood in that kind of spotlight,” Ayers wrote after the fight. She called the experience “pure magic,” but let’s be real—dating the starting QB of the Giants brings a level of spotlight that even Jake Paul can’t manufacture.
With over million followers combined on TikTok and Instagram, Ayers is a brand in her own right. She has secured deals with SKIMS, Revolve, and Ariana Grande Fragrances. She is living the high life, from courtside seats at Knicks games to VIP treatment at the F Las Vegas Grand Prix. This is a WAG who knows how to play the fame game.
SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY?
The romance isn’t without its collegiate controversy. Ayers is a die-hard University of Alabama alum. Her Instagram is practically a shrine to the Crimson Tide. Dart? He made his name slinging passes for their bitter SEC rivals, Ole Miss.
It is a Romeo and Juliet situation, SEC style. Ayers even admitted that her sister went to the University of Georgia, causing a “little war” in her family. Now, she has added an Ole Miss Rebel to the mix. Sunday dinners must be tense during football season.
MOM’S SEAL OF APPROVAL
This isn’t just a fling. Things are getting serious fast. Ayers has been a staple at Giants games, and she isn’t sitting in the nosebleeds. In December , she was spotted posing for photos at the stadium with Dart’s mom. In the WAG hierarchy, getting a photo op with the mother is the ultimate power move. It signals that she is locked in for the long haul.
FROM GYMNAST TO INFLUENCER ELITE
Before she was holding round cards or dating NFL stars, Ayers was a competitive gymnast. She claimed in a TikTok that the sport was “the biggest part of my life growing up,” humbly bragging that she was “pretty good.” But like many young athletes, she got “burnt out” and pivoted to cheerleading—a move that clearly prepped her for the sidelines of the NFL.
Her childhood was chaotic, to say the least. Ayers revealed she moved a staggering times growing up after her parents divorced when she was in sixth grade. That kind of instability usually breeds hustlers, and Ayers has clearly hustled her way to the top of the New York social scene.
CLIFFHANGER: WILL SHE SURVIVE THE NY MEDIA?
Marissa Ayers has conquered TikTok, the boxing ring, and now the Giants’ quarterback. But can she handle the ruthless New York media market? The Giants are looking for a savior, and if Dart falters on the field, the tabloids will be looking for someone to blame.
Will Ayers be the supportive girlfriend who helps Dart lead the Giants to glory, or will the “distraction” narrative start swirling the moment he throws an interception? She has Jake Paul in her corner, but facing angry Giants fans is a whole different kind of fight. Welcome to the big leagues, Marissa.
