Jaxson Dart’s girlfriend Marissa Ayers is over the moon that her rookie year in New York began with a Knicks championship.
Taking to ther Instagram, the model, who recently moved to New York City, shared some behind-the-scenes moments of the couple’s trip to San Antonio for Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals — a 94-90 Knicks win over the Spurs on June 13 to clinch their first title in 53 years.
“My new york rookie year is off to a great start,” Ayers wrote, adding New York Knicks as the geotag.
Other photos showed the pair on a private plane and sporting Knicks baseball jerseys.
Ayers, who was a ring girl for the Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua fight in December, also included snapshots of her and Dart at Game 1 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio.
Ayers shared that she was moving to New York City in a TikTok video in February, explaining that it was the right place for her to live with her career as a content creator.
Her career has taken off since she went viral as a ring girl for Joshua’s knockout win over Paul.
Ayers made her runway debut at Miami Swim Week earlier this month when she walked in the White Fox Boutique swim show at The Setai, a luxury hotel in Miami Beach.
Dart was seen standing near the runway while filming Ayers as she strutted down the runway in a purple bikini and kitten heels, as seen in a TikTok video on her page.
Dart and Ayers, who were first linked last fall, confirmed their relationship on social media in January following months of dating rumors.
They made their first red carpet appearance together at the NFL Honors ceremony in February.
