On Sunday, JLo, who recently shared that she is looking forward to her first 'free and happy' summer since divorcing Ben Affleck, shared a glimpse of her single life.
'MAY 2025,' she captioned a slideshow of stunning photos, which showed her frolicking in a sundress, in the dance studio and on stage performing at the AMAs.
Additionally, the On The Floor singer shared a motivational quote from @womennsoul, which read: 'Not every woman that keeps up with her physical presence does it for attention. Some of us just like to look good all the time, for ourselves.'
Since kicking off her career in entertainment as a dancer in the early 1990s, the two-time Grammy nominee has been widely admired for her fit figure, particularly her toned physique and iconic curves.
In her same post, she shared a reminder to her 248 million followers to 'take time to appreciate' their 'small wins and the battles that' they conquered.
Her fans quickly praised her in the comments as they called 2025 her 'year.'
'Whose year is it? It's JLOS year that's who's! Keep smashing it Jenny,' one wrote beneath her post.
Another gushed: 'You don't follow trends you set them. You're always ten steps ahead.'

Earlier this month, the performer detailed her busy summer plans in an interview with People.
'I'm excited to tour. I'm excited first to go do Pride,' Jennifer raved. 'I'm super excited about that. I'm working on that show right now too as we speak, and crafting the tour as well. I'm excited to get back out there.'
She continued: 'It seems like a perfect summer to celebrate being free and being happy... Just everything in my life right now just feels really healthy and good, and I'm ready to get out there and make people sing and dance and have a good.'
The Hustlers actress also noted her twins Emme and Max, 17, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, will be joining her at WorldPride in Washington, D.C.
After headlining WorldPride this month, she will go on to embark on her Up All Night Live tour, which begins in Egypt on July 4. This will mark her first tour in six years.
Last summer, Lopez canceled her Greatest Hits summer concert to spend more time with her children, family and close friends.
'I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,' the Hustlers star began,' she wrote in a message on her OntheJLo site.
She continued: 'Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary.'
Two months later, she filed for divorce from Ben on their second wedding anniversary, but listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.
The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot in July 2022.
The actor-director and singer-actress eloped at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022 - 18 years after breaking off their first engagement in 2004.
The pair again exchanged vows at Affleck's estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20 that year.
They had first rekindled their romance in early 2021, just weeks after J-Lo broke off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez.
Ultimately, the exes settled their divorce in January 2025, with the pair each walking away with what they individually acquired during their brief union.

Trump looks to close 105-year-old department that supports women workers despite insinuating it would stay
The Department of Labor said it would 'eliminate' the Women 's Bureau, a century-old department that focuses on advocating for economic equality and safe working environments for women, despite the secretary insinuating it was here to stay. When pressed with questions about the Department of Government Efficiency cutting grants administered by the Women's Bureau at a House Appropriations Committee meeting on May 15, Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer responded by emphasizing its history. 'Statutorily, the Women's Bureau is in statute,' Chavez-DeRemer said in response to Representative Rosa DeLauro's concerns. While Chavez-DeRemer's comment stopped short of a promise, she did not elaborate on the future of Women's Bureau, but insinuated the 105-year-old department was here to stay. Yet the Department of Labor's 2026 fiscal year budget in brief anticipates eliminating the Women's Bureau, calling it a 'relic of the past' and 'an ineffective policy.' 'The Department will work with Congress to craft a repeal package of WB's organic statutes, including the Women in Apprenticeship in Non-Traditional Occupations grant authorization. Apprenticeship work will be handled by the Employment and Training Administration,' the Bureau of Labor wrote. The Independent has asked the Department of Labor and the White House for comment. The elimination of the bureau, by giving it no funding in 2026, is the latest move by the Trump administration to override Congress's authority and get rid of previously appropriated funds for what it believes is unnecessary or does not align with the president's policies. During his presidential campaign, Trump promised to be women's 'protector' and insisted they would be 'happy, healthy, confident and free' under his administration. However, the Trump administration believes the Women's Bureau 'has struggled to find a role' in advancing the interests of women in the workforce, according to the budget brief. 'The Bureau works on a wide range of issues and its work is not always closely coordinated with, or informed by, the agencies that actually have the resources to address the issues at hand,' the Department wrote in its FY 2026 budget in brief. Established by Congress in 1920, the Women's Bureau is the only federal agency mandated to represent the needs of wage-earning women. It conducts research and policy analysis to advocate for policies that improve working conditions and increase profitable opportunities for women in the workforce. That includes getting more women to high-paying jobs, expanding access to paid leave and affordable child care, eliminating pay inequality, as well as harassment in the workplace. Part of its role includes grant-making and managing the Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations grant program. The Women's Bureau also has the authority to investigate and report on matters about the welfare of women in industry to the Department of Labor. Nine current or former Department of Labor staffers told Mother Jones they believe shuttering the Women's Bureau aligns with the administration's desire to have women stop working and stay home to raise children. 'It really feels like a specific [effort] to get women out of the workplace,' Gayle Goldin, the former deputy director of the Women's Bureau under the Biden administration, told Mother Jones. 'We really still need the Women's Bureau, because we need to be able to identify what the problems are, see where the barriers are for women in the workplace, and ensure that women have full capacity to enter the workplace in whatever job they want.'

A banana a day to keep the tariffs away? Howard Lutnick mocked during congressional hearing over plan to make more products in America
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was ridiculed in the House of Representatives over his proposed solution if Donald Trump's tariffs hit banana imports. Lutnick, one of the loudest cheerleaders for Trump's aggressive trade strategy, was testifying before the House Appropriations Committee when he found himself up against Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean. The congresswoman put it to Lutnick that the Trump administration lacked a fundamental understanding of how a trade deficit works, pointing out that the last time the United States had a trade surplus was during the Great Depression of the 1930s, a return to which is 'a direction none of us wants to go,' she said. Dean rebuked the secretary over the chaotic implementation of Trump's tariff policy after the president was forced to row back his imposition of steep levies on 100 countries on 'Liberation Day' (April 2) when they spooked the stock markets, forcing him to swiftly introduce a 90-day pause to allow for dealmaking. 'We are in the midst of negotiations with dozens of countries,' Lutnick raced to reassure her. 'We could sign deals but they're only going to get better as we negotiate them.' Dean then pivoted to her true subject, the cost of living, saying that residents of her suburban Philadelphia district were facing $2,000 a year increases to their grocery bills as a result of inflation, noting that Walmart, for one, had already raised the price of bananas by eight percent. 'Mr Trump promised to bring down the cost of goods, day one. And what he has done through his trade deficit fixation and his tariff chaos has nakedly increased the cost of goods,' she said. Brandishing a banana, Dean asked the secretary: 'What's the tariff on bananas? Americans, by the way, love bananas. We buy billions of them a year. I love bananas. What's the tariff on bananas?' 'The tariff on bananas would be representative of the countries that produce them,' Lutnick answered, estimating the rate at 10 percent when pushed. 'But the cost is on the American consumer now and on the businesses with the confusion now,' she hit back. 'Mr Secretary, I believe you know better. I believe you recognize that a trade deficit is not something to fear. I believe you know that predictability, stability is essential for businesses. I wish you would show that truth to this administration.' When Dean yielded her time, Lutnick asked for permission to respond to her and said: 'There's no uncertainty if you build in America and you produce your product in America. There will be no tariff.' 'We can't produce bananas in America,' she responded, incredulously. 'The concept of building in America and paying no tariffs is very, very clear,' said Lutnick. 'We cannot build bananas in America,' Dean repeated. 'Fighting for imports is not the same,' the secretary tried again. 'We cannot build bananas in America,' the representative repeated. While it is true that the United States cannot 'build' its own bananas and most are imported from Central American nations like Guatemala, Ecuador and Costa Rica, southern states like California, Florida, Arizona, Louisiana and Texas have the necessary climate to grow them but currently only do so in small quantities. Hawaii also grows bananas, as do the American territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands but, again, not currently on a scale sufficient to meet domestic demand.

US Supreme Court asked to pause order reinstating Education Department staff
The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to pause a court order to reinstate Education Department employees who were fired in mass lay-offs as part of President Donald Trump's plan to dismantle the agency. The Justice Department's emergency appeal to the high court on Friday said US District Judge Myong Joun in Boston exceeded his authority last month when he issued a preliminary injunction reversing the lay-offs of nearly 1,400 people and putting the broader plan on hold. Advertisement Mr Joun's order has blocked one of Mr Trump's biggest campaign promises and effectively stalled the effort to wind down the department. A federal appeals court refused to put the order on hold while the administration appealed.
