Jaxson Dart and Marissa Ayers Showcase Derby Style at Churchill Downs

The high-profile outing signals a steady rise in their public profile ahead of Dart’s second season with the Giants.

Overview

  • The couple appeared at Churchill Downs on Saturday for the 2026 Kentucky Derby, extending a run of joint public outings this spring.
  • Dart wore a white Dolce & Gabbana pinstripe suit with a matching top hat, white dress shoes, and black shades, with Ayers in a light blue Nordstrom dress paired with Prada accessories and a black-and-white hat.
  • The pair also joined Friday’s Longines Kentucky Oaks events, where Ayers posted a pink look that matched the race’s breast-cancer-awareness ‘Pink Out’ theme.
  • They went public in January after months of rumors and have since made red-carpet stops, with Dart telling People in March that they are each other’s biggest cheerleaders.
  • Dart was a 2025 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist who finished fourth and now prepares for Year 2 with New York under new head coach John Harbaugh.
