At the 2026 NFL Honors red carpet in San Francisco, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and his girlfriend Marissa Ayers stole the spotlight in their dazzling outfits, making their first public appearance together since confirming their relationship. Dart, dressed in a sleek dark grey suit, and Ayers, in a stunning champagne-colored dress, arrived as a couple, their chemistry evident to all.
Though Dart was nominated for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, 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 that in today's world, we try to keep as much as we can between us," he said, adding that he is "grateful for her and the time and how much we've been able to build this connection."
"I think that when you're in this space, you want to make sure that it means something. So, I'm excited for 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 across 14 games. He also spoke to The Post about new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, saying: "I think [Harbaugh] was the coach that every single one of us had at the top of our list."
"He was the coach that we all wanted to play for. I can't wait to get after it with him," he said, his excitement palpable.
The couple's appearance at the event was not just about fashion and awards; it was also a testament to their growing bond and mutual support. Their chemistry on and off the field is undeniable, and their love for each other is evident in every step they take together.
