Jaxson Dart had quite the Friday. The Giants quarterback spent the morning answering uncomfortable questions about introducing Donald Trump at a political rally, then flew to Miami to watch his girlfriend walk her runway debut in a bikini. As far as NFL offseasons go, this one has range.
Jaxson Dart's girlfriend stunned at Miami Swim Week — hours after the Giants QB faced the media over his Trump rally appearance
While Dart was busy doing damage control at the Giants' training facility, his girlfriend Marissa Ayers was preparing for what she called a dream come true. The 23-year-old model and influencer walked the White Fox Boutique swim show, titled La Tropica, at The Setai, a luxury hotel in Miami Beach, wearing a purple bikini and kitten heels. Dart, true to form, was front row the entire time, filming and taking photos like a proud boyfriend who had absolutely not just had one of the more chaotic mornings of his young NFL career. He later posted to his Instagram story calling her out directly: "So proud of you." Ayers has been building her modelling profile steadily; she previously worked as a ring girl at the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight at Madison Square Garden, and the Miami Swim Week debut felt like a genuine career milestone. The internet agreed. She went viral almost immediately.
The controversy that followed them to Miami
Earlier that same day, Dart faced reporters about his decision to introduce President Trump at a rally in Suffern, New York, a move that reportedly caused tension inside the Giants' locker room. Dart acknowledged the optics. "I also understand in this world, politics can be a sensitive matter, a sensitive topic," he told the media. Trump, for his part, posted a photo of Dart and Ayers on Truth Social, telling the quarterback he was "a winner" and that his critics were "radical left lunatics." So by the time Dart was sitting front row at a Miami swim show watching his girlfriend walk the runway, he had already been name-checked by the President of the United States that morning. Normal Friday for a second-year NFL quarterback. The whole sequence - locker room controversy, presidential shoutout, bikini runway show - somehow all happened within the same 24 hours, and it says everything about the very specific, very chaotic energy that follows Jaxson Dart wherever he goes these days. Ayers looked unbothered throughout. Honestly, fair enough.
