New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and his girlfriend, Marissa Ayers, spent the July 4th weekend enjoying a scenic vacation at Lake Powell, a reservoir located on the Colorado River between Utah and Arizona. During the trip, Ayers documented their outings on Instagram, where she shared photos of the couple amidst the landscape of Jurassic-era Navajo Sandstone, which dates back 190 to 200 million years. In one image, Dart is seen lifting Ayers against the backdrop of the rust-colored canyon walls. The couple also spent time jet-skiing and paddleboarding. As the day concluded, Ayers marked the holiday by raising an American flag from their boat while wearing a red bikini. Following the sunset, the pair shared a passionate kiss, a moment captured and posted to social media.
Reflecting on the trip, Ayers captioned her post, "It was an overdue but worthwhile July 4th day in my life." She added, "Top of the morning. Quick serve? I don’t see why not. In this moment, we knew the day was about to get good. Barbie life jacket, do your thing. All aboard! Made it to shore. One path led to another? Sources say he swept her off her feet. Cave explorations. Our precious hidden gem. Somewhere only we know. Put your hands up if you’re summeringg. Quite the patriotic sunset cruise. Costume change. Look up! Sparks were flying. Favorite finale to the best day."
This recent trip follows a series of public appearances for the couple. In mid-June, Ayers shared photos from a New York Knicks game, where she noted her "New York rookie year" was off to a strong start, prompting a playful "ROY" comment from Dart. Earlier this year, on May 2, the pair attended the 152nd Kentucky Derby, where Dart wore a custom white and black-pinstriped Dolce & Gabbana suit with a "Bellissimo" hat, while Ayers wore a pastel light blue dress. The couple officially went public with their relationship on Instagram on January 9, when Ayers posted a carousel of images featuring moments from the football field, dinners, and Halloween celebrations. Dart responded to the post at the time, writing, "In a movie w you."
