Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

My wife & I work in the same hospital. I interviewed for a higher position. Two weeks later, having heard nothing yet, my wife asked the nurse manager of that department about my interview. The nurse manager then told my wife that I was not chosen for the position and the reasons why I wasn't chosen. My question is: Was it illegal to share that information with another non-administrative staff member, or was it illegal for my wife to inquire about me, or both, or neither?
