On Saturday, Lopez, who filed for divorce from her fourth husband, Ben Affleck, on August 20, shared a series of photos on social media to recap her summer. She hinted that she is more than ready to move on.
“Oh, it’s been a summer,” the actress and singer captioned the post that featured a collection of pictures taken over the past few months.

One photo shows a simple quote that reads, “Everything is unfolding in divine order,” while another reads, “She’s in bloom and unbothered, out of reach and at peace.”
“Oh, it’s been a summer,” Lopez noted.
Lopez also posted a captivating mirror selfie of herself in a white one-piece bathing suit, and another one in a brown bikini. Her twins, Max and Emme, also made appearances, along with various photos of their pets.
The post ignited a wave of reactions from fans who filled the comments section with love and encouragement.
“So excited for the next ERA,” one fan wrote.

“No one gets you down!!” another fan commented. “You’re a Leo. Walking through hell-fire a sun that shines just as bright as the northern star and you will triumph in times of struggle. Love you always, mama!”
This social media post comes just days after rumors surfaced about a new romance between Affleck and Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy.
Earlier this week, multiple sources told People magazine that Affleck and Kennedy, who have reportedly been linked since early spring, have been “spending time together.” Another source claimed that Kennedy, one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s six children, has always seemed to have a thing for the actor.

A representative for the Academy Award-winning actor dismissed these rumors as false.
“The rumors are not true,” Affleck’s representative Jen Allen informed Fox News Digital.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20 in Los Angeles County Court, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer listed their separation date as April 26. Lopez also stated she did not want either herself or Affleck to be awarded spousal support, per court documents.

Affleck and Lopez first got engaged in 2002 after meeting on the set of their film “Gigli.” Affleck proposed, and they were set to marry in 2004, but the wedding was called off at the last minute.
Twenty years later, Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas wedding ceremony.
While rumors of their split began earlier this year, after they were not seen together for 47 days, the state of Affleck and Lopez’s marriage took a more dramatic turn when Affleck did not attend Lopez’s luxurious “Bridgerton”-themed birthday party for her 55th birthday on July 2.
Earlier this year, in the documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” Affleck appeared reluctant in dealing with the public scrutiny that followed the couple in the early 2000s.

During the documentary, they admitted they “just crumbled under the pressure” of being a tabloid phenomenon, which strained their relationship, causing them to cancel their 2003 wedding just three days before it was supposed to happen.
“I had a very firm sense of boundaries initially around the press, while Jen, I don’t think, objected to it the way I did. I very much did object to it,” Affleck said.
“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media. And then I realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like you’re going to marry a boat captain, you want to like the water. We’re just two people with kind of different approaches, trying to learn to compromise.”
