New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and his girlfriend Marissa Ayers turned heads on the 2026 NFL Honors red carpet in San Francisco, where they made one of their first public appearances together since confirming their relationship.
The couple arrived in dazzling outfits, with Dart wearing a dark gray suit while Ayers chose a champagne-colored dress.
Dart was nominated for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, but the award ultimately went to Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetaira McMillan.
Despite the increased public attention, Dart told People that he prefers to keep parts of his personal life private.
“I think just in the world we live in, we try to keep as much between us as possible,” Dart told People on Wednesday, adding that he is “grateful for her and the time and how much we’ve been able to build this connection.”
“I think when you’re in this room, you want to make sure it means something. So I’m excited about it, and she’s the best,” he added.
On the field, Dart completed a strong rookie season, throwing for 2,272 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions in 14 games.
He also spoke to The Post about new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, saying, “I think so [Harbaugh] was the coach each of us had at the top of our list.”
“He was the coach we all wanted to play for. I can’t wait to get started with him.”
