Rumors surrounding New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart and influencer Marissa Ayers are reaching new heights after the pair appeared to quietly acknowledge their status on social media. Fans have speculated for weeks that the two 22-year-olds are dating — and now, their latest Instagram activity is fueling the strongest evidence yet.
A Single Instagram Like Sparks Major Buzz
On Dec. 17, sports gambling brand Betr posted a clip referring to Ayers as Dart’s “girlfriend.” While neither has publicly addressed their rumored relationship, fans immediately noticed that both Dart and Ayers liked the post, a subtle but telling acknowledgment that many see as their soft launch.

The move comes after weeks of online speculation, sparked by their growing interaction on social media and multiple sightings together in recent months.
Rumors Began at a Halloween Party — and Haven’t Stopped Since
Speculation first started in October when Dart and Ayers were reportedly spotted together at a Halloween event. Dart soon began liking several of Ayers’ Instagram uploads, including her Las Vegas Grand Prix highlights and a mermaid-themed costume post from New York City.
From there, fans kept their eyes peeled — and they didn’t have to wait long for more hints.
Ayers was photographed with Dart’s mother, Kara Dart, at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium on Dec. 1 before the Giants took on the Patriots. The picture circulated widely, raising questions about whether Ayers had already met his family.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ayers posted a TikTok vlog on Dec. 14 wearing an oversized Giants T-shirt, widely interpreted as a nod to Dart. When a commenter asked if she’d moved to New York, she replied: “No but …. 😏” — a cheeky message that only intensified speculation.
Dart’s Rising NFL Profile and Ayers’ Growing Influence
Dart, drafted earlier this year after closing out his college career at Ole Miss, made his NFL debut in September. Though he was briefly linked to influencer Alix Earle earlier this month, she quickly clarified that the circulating screenshot was “fake” and shut down the rumor.
Ayers, meanwhile, has nearly 2 million followers, having built her platform through lifestyle content, college vlogs and her work as a ring girl with Most Valuable Promotions. Originally from Georgia, she graduated from the University of Alabama in 2025 with a degree in communications.
With both stars on the rise in their respective industries, fans are eager to see what comes next. Their social media likes may not be a formal announcement, but they’ve certainly added momentum to one of the most talked-about potential romances of the NFL season.
