The couple’s relationship has steadily gained attention since late 2025. Dart and Ayers were first linked in October 2025 after they were seen together at a Halloween party in Manhattan. They later confirmed their relationship publicly when they “hard-launched” it on Instagram in January 2026, sharing photos together online.
Since then, Ayers has become a familiar face for Giants fans. She has been spotted attending multiple games during the 2025 season and was even seen sitting with Dart’s mother, Kara, during one matchup. The appearances helped strengthen the perception that the relationship had become serious as Dart’s rookie year unfolded.
Ayers also has a growing career of her own outside the NFL spotlight. The Georgia native is a professional model and social media personality with more than a million followers across platforms. She works as a ring card girl for the boxing promotion Most Valuable Promotions andgained major attention during the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight at Madison Square Garden in July 2025.
Her online presence and growing popularity have made her a recognizable figure among sports fans, especially in New York where Dart’s rise with the Giants has drawn intense media attention.
Jaxson Dart’s rookie season with the Giants
While his relationship has generated headlines, Dart has also made a strong impression on the field during his first NFL season with the New York Giants.
The rookie quarterback quickly showed flashes of potential. In his first start, he helped lead the Giants to a win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and he later guided the team to a victory against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Dart finished the season with 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdown passes, and nine rushing touchdowns, while also adding nearly 500 rushing yards. His dual-threat ability and fearless playing style helped him emerge as one of the league’s promising young quarterbacks.
The 22-year-old also embraced the pressure that comes with playing in New York, saying it is a “privilege” to represent the city and its passionate fan base.
Now, with a viral social-media moment and a promising rookie season behind him, Dart’s life both on and off the field continues to capture attention in the Big Apple. And if Giants fans have their way, the city’s newly crowned “King and Queen of New York” may only be getting started.
