Jaxson Dart’s girlfriend, Marissa Ayers, stole the show at Miami Swim Week over the weekend.

The model and influencer made her runway debut on Friday, strutting down the catwalk for White Fox Boutique’s “La Tropica” swim show. The event was held at the luxe Setai hotel in Miami Beach.

Ayers, quite naturally, looked confident and stunning in a skimpy purple string bikini paired with kitten heels, turning heads and quickly going viral across social media.

The New York Giants quarterback was right there supporting her the whole time. Dart had a front-row seat, filming and snapping photos as Ayers walked the runway.

A couple of days later, he reposted her Instagram photos to his own story with some obviously loving shoutouts.

“So proud of you!” Dart wrote on the socials.

“YOU KILLED IT BABYY,” he wrote before adding “Mineee.”

The couple has been going strong since going public earlier this year. They hard-launched their relationship back in January, hit the red carpet together at the NFL Honors and the Kentucky Derby, and now they’re mixing in a little Miami fashion week with the sports life.

While Dart was dealing with some locker-room chatter after introducing Donald Trump at a rally the same day, he still made time to hype up his girlfriend’s big moment. Classic athlete/model couple goals—sports drama and runway glamour all in one weekend.

We suspect, however, that Dart will have much less to explain regarding his support for Ayers.

Dart was the Giants’ first-round pick out of Ole Miss in the 2025 draft and jumped right into the starting lineup as a rookie. He threw for over 2,200 yards with 15 touchdowns and just 5 picks while adding nearly 500 rushing yards and 9 scores on the ground.

Heading into 2026, the outlook is bright with a year of experience, new coaching, and better weapons around him — many see him as a legit breakout candidate who could help turn the franchise around. The long-suffering franchise.

Ayers, meanwhile, is a 23-year-old social media influencer and model who built her following through lifestyle, fashion, and college content while at the University of Alabama. She’s also a professional ring card girl for Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions.
