Another photo on her Instagram Stories shows the reality star sitting on a boat with her 26-year-old daughter Sea Louise, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Gilles Bensimon, and a dog, while the song "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts plays.

The day prior, Bensimon shared an Instagram post that showed her cheerfully smiling in a pool in white triangular-shaped bikini top with her arms above her head for the pose. 

"POV: Diving into this weekend with a smile…" she wrote in the caption.

Bensimon called off her wedding to Litner on June 25.

The following day, she told PEOPLE exclusively, "Ultimately, my decision is nobody’s business, but I understand that there is speculation and gossip, and I want to put an end to all of it. To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him. Full stop."

The pair planned to tie the knot on Saturday, June 29.

Bensimon elaborated on her decision, adding, "He thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith. But I’ve worked really, really, hard as a single mother and have always made smart decisions for myself and my family, and that will continue."
