Actor Ryan Reynolds made a subtle nod to his wife Blake Lively’s ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni during the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special.

The actor, who was in attendance with Lively, was asked how he was doing by former cast members Tina Fey and Amy Poehler during a Q and A segment, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

Reynolds replied, “Great!” before adding, “Why, what have you heard?” The comment was met with a brief, stern look from Lively, who has been embroiled in a legal battle with Baldoni, her co-star and director on the film It Ends With Us.
