Marissa Ayers, the model girlfriend of New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at their Kentucky Oaks date last week.
The couple were snapped at Churchill Downs on Friday and Saturday as they enjoyed some horse racing action while Dart is in the midst of the NFL's offseason.
Dart, who recently wrapped up an impressive rookie year, was one of many sports stars in attendance, along with the likes of Bill Belichick, Rob Gronkowski, DeAndre Hopkins, Kyle Rudolph and Cody Ford.
He was joined by Ayers, the influencer and boxing ring girl he has been dating for just under a year. She opted for a pink dress, white heels and a fascinator as she joined her man to pose for several pictures that she then posted on Instagram on Tuesday.
'Pretty in pink for the kentucky oaks,' she captioned the post.
Dart also looked the part in Louisville, pulling on a light blue chequered jacket with navy trousers, a striped shirt and white hat.
Their romance certainly seems to be going from strength to strength as Ayers insisted she 'felt so grateful' in a social media post last month.
The couple have been together since October of last year, when they went on their first date in New York. And she emotionally opened up on her 'very transformative year' in a TikTok video shared on her 23rd birthday.
'I have felt so grateful,' Ayers said in a 'get ready with me' video. 'I started sobbing yesterday because I was reflecting on this past year and how much has changed - and how much I've learned about myself. It's been just a very transformative year for me… [I'm] so happy where I am right now and I'm so excited for this year and [turning] 23. I have a really good feeling about [it].'
Dart made a brief cameo, lovingly leaning in to give her a kiss as she shared the couple's weekend plans to celebrate her big day. She revealed that they had initially intended to attend Coachella but they ultimately opted for a 'softer, slower, relaxing birthday weekend.'
Ayers, who was a ring girl for the Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua fight back in December, shared that they planned to stay in New York and enjoy the weekend together in the city, allowing Dart to stay closer to home amid offseason obligations with the Giants.
She gushed over her boyfriend, who was taking her to her favorite restaurant in New York City, 4 Charles Prime Rib, for her birthday meal. Despite dating since October, their relationship was only confirmed in January when Ayers shared a series of pictures with Dart alongside the telling caption 'Rumor has it..' They made an eye-catching appearance on the red carpet at the NFL Honors on Super Bowl week in San Francisco, too.
