New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart may be one of the biggest stars in the NFL right now, but his girlfriend Marissa Ayers also knows how to make a splash. The 23-year-old model and influencer recently made her runway debut at Miami Swim Week, wearing a White Fox Boutique bikini that instantly turned heads. Dart had front-row tickets to the show, which was called La Tropica and was held at the Setai.
Ayers later shared photos from the show as well as behind-the-scenes snaps on her Instagram, describing the experience as “a dream come true”. Her boyfriend, also 23, didn’t hold back the praise as he reposted one of her photos on his Instagram Stories, writing, “So proud of you!” and “You killed it babyy” while calling her “Mineee”. The couple then hopped on a plane to watch the NBA finals together.
