Courtney also gave her husband a shoutout on Friday sharing the same image of her giving Lopez a smooch writing 'You got this babe. I love you more than you could ever imagine.'
When the incident went down on Wednesday, the former Saved by the Bell actor had to go straight to the emergency room and he wasn't too happy about the outcome.
