Jaxson Dart has spent his rookie season saying just the right stuff about football, New York, and the privilege of being the New York Giants’ quarterback. However, off the field, a different storyline has gained momentum. One that doesn’t involve playbooks or blitz reads.
Since October 2025, the Giants QB has been linked to social media star Marissa Ayers.
Inside Jaxson Dart and Marissa Ayers’ Rumored Relationship
The rumors first began back in October, when Dart and Ayers were spotted together at a Halloween party in Manhattan. None of them posted photos together, but Ayers did share an Instagram roundup from the night, and Dart liked the post. Subtle, sure, but noticed.
Step two came on Dec. 1, 2025, during the Giants’ game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Ayers was in attendance and photographed alongside Dart’s mother, Kara Dart. That moment alone told fans this might be more than a casual link.
Still, Dart has kept his focus public-facing and football-first. Speaking to Sports Illustrated in May, he stayed firmly on message. “It’s a privilege to be the quarterback for the Giants,” he alluded, “There’s not a better city to play for, there’s not a better place to be than New York.”
Ayers, though, hasn’t addressed the rumors either. But in a January 2025 TikTok, she did open up about her standards when it comes to relationships.
Who is Marissa Ayers Beyond the Headlines?
According to her TikTok and LinkedIn profiles, Ayers grew up in Georgia and moved 17 times during her childhood. Her parents divorced when she was in sixth grade, and she has an older sister whom she describes as her total opposite. Ayers spent 11 years as a competitive gymnast before switching to cheerleading after burning out.
She graduated from the University of Alabama in May, earning a degree in communication with a focus on public relations and advertising. Her time at Alabama helped launch her social media career, where she documented college life and quickly built a massive following.
In May 2025, Ayers began working as a ring card girl for Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions. She went viral during the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight in July 2025 at Madison Square Garden, which streamed on Netflix.
Today, Ayers has 1.5M TikTok followers and over 400K on Instagram, partnering with brands like SKIMS, Revolve, L’Oréal, Lancôme, and Ariana Grande Fragrances. As of Dec. 2025, neither Dart nor Ayers has confirmed anything. However, the timing, appearances, and family proximity suggest that this rumor isn’t going to cool off anytime soon.
