New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has been spotted enjoying a cosy dinner at one of New York City's most exclusive steakhouses with his girlfriend, model and influencer Marissa Ayers. The sighting comes just weeks after the pair officially confirmed their relationship to fans on social media.
Steakhouse Sighting Confirms Couple's Status
On Monday this week, Ayers shared a video from their table at the renowned 4 Charles Prime Rib. The clip showed Dart watching as a waiter carefully cut a cheeseburger in half for the camera, with Ayers's laughter audible in the background. This intimate dinner marks one of their first public appearances as a confirmed couple since they 'hard-launched' their romance on Instagram last week.
From Rumours to a Public Romance
The relationship first sparked speculation amongst fans last month when the duo appeared together in a mysterious Snapchat post. Weeks later, Ayers, a 22-year-old model and boxing ring girl, ended all rumours by posting a carousel of twenty photos showcasing their time together. The images featured romantic dinners, fancy dress parties, and luxury travel, captioned pointedly: 'rumor has it… @jaxsondart'.
Their connection had been hinted at earlier in the NFL season when Ayers was seen on the sidelines with Dart's mother, Kara, during the Giants' game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
Ayers's High-Profile Role in Boxing
Beyond her work as an influencer, Marissa Ayers holds a prominent role as a ring girl for Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions. This position placed her in the global spotlight in December, when she was in the ring for the high-profile bout between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua, which was streamed worldwide on Netflix. More recently, she was seen at the Kaseya Center for the Jahmal Harvey versus Kevin Cervantes fight.
For Dart, the offseason provides a chance to relax away from the field after the Giants failed to secure a playoff berth. His budding relationship with Ayers, now firmly in the public eye, is certainly giving fans plenty to talk about as they await the next season.
