Steve Kazee is attempting to clear the air.

The actor and singer initially posted a string of "HAHA" on his Instagram Stories Tuesday, Oct. 29, shortly following the news that his fiancée Jenna Dewan's ex-husband, Channing Tatum, had split from his fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, leading some to speculate that he was reacting to the news.

In a follow-up post on Wednesday, Oct. 30, Kazee, 49, wrote, "A guy can't laugh about a houseplant Tik Tok in todays world I see ... ", referring to the video he'd shared soon after the "HAHA" post the previous day.

He went on to post a photo of a droopy plant, writing over the snapshot, "See? It's funny because it's relatable. Get a life."

The Tony Award winner then shared an image and video of a smaller, dried-up potted plant, illustrating his experience of filling up a coffee maker with water before giving his plants water, a practice the TikTok video was poking fun at.

Multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE on Tuesday that Kravitz, 35, and Tatum, 44, had ended their engagement, after three years of dating.

"They haven't been on the same page and grew apart," a source told PEOPLE on Wednesday.

Tatum and Kravitz became an item after working together on her feature directorial debut Blink Twice, in which Tatum starred. They first sparked romance rumors when they were photographed riding through the streets of New York City on a BMX bike in August 2021.

A month later, they were spotted leaving the Met Gala together before Tatum made their relationship Instagram official on Halloween, sharing a snap of him and Kravitz rocking a couple's costume from Martin Scorsese's classic 1976 film Taxi Driver.

Tatum and Dewan, 43, reached a settlement to finalize their divorce last month, six years after their 2018 breakup.

The two share one child — daughter Everly, 11 — while Dewan and Kazee are parents to son  Callum, 4, and dauthter Rhiannon, 4 months.

"Jenna is pleased and relieved that the divorce is final," a source told PEOPLE one day after the settlement was reached. "It was a drawn-out and sometimes frustrating situation."

"She will continue to co-parent with Channing, but she's ready to move on from everything else," the source added of Dewan. "She just wants to focus on her [children]."
