After a high-profile exit from the\u00a0New York Giants<\/a>, Tommy DeVito<\/a> landed with the\u00a0New England Patriots<\/a> in August 2025, carving out a path to compete for the backup role behind rising starter Drake Maye.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move came after a crowded Giants quarterback room, featuring veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, plus a first-round rookie, pushed the fan-favorite passer out the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, after recently signing a two-year, $7.4 million extension to stay in New England, DeVito has again thrust himself back into the spotlight, this time off the field.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, DeVito posted vacation photos from Turks and Caicos featuring a woman identified as Michayla, with the two appearing close and comfortable, enough to spark immediate speculation about a relationship reveal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enter\u00a0Jaxson Dart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Giants\u2019 young QB, and DeVito\u2019s former teammate, jumped into the comments with:\u00a0\u201cLauncheddd ayyy \ud83d\udc40.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Around the league, fans interpreted it as confirmation: DeVito may have just \u201chard launched\u201d his new girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Details remain limited, but there are breadcrumbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The woman in question has reportedly been seen supporting DeVito before, including attending a Patriots game and sporting his jersey number<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no confirmed timeline on when the relationship began, but the progression, from low-key support to public vacation photos, suggests this isn\u2019t brand new.<\/p>\n

Dart\u2019s involvement isn\u2019t random, either.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two shared a quarterback room during a transitional period in New York, where Dart was drafted in the first round (No. 25 overall) and quickly ascended to the starting role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dart’s rookie season in New York showed flashes of dual-threat upside, racking up 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and just five interceptions in 14 appearances, plus 487 rushing yards and nine rushing scores, both of which led all rookie quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

Off the field, Dart has been navigating his own public relationship, having recently shared moments with his girlfriend, Marissa Ayers<\/a>, during the offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for DeVito, he\u2019s fighting to climb the Patriots\u2019 depth chart after not seeing game action in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With roster turnover and competition looming, every rep, and every perception, counts.<\/p>\n

Long term, it reinforces DeVito\u2019s identity as more than just a backup QB, but as a personality, a storyline, and a marketable figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a high-profile exit from the\u00a0New York Giants, Tommy DeVito landed with the\u00a0New England Patriots in August 2025,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":578520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-578519","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
