I’ve a friend who - when in an ornery mood - refers to his wife as his “ex girlfriend” and describes their wedding day as the day they broke up, since she lost the title of “girlfriend.”
Indeed, I tend to go with “then-girlfriend”; if it’s relevant to the conversation, I’ll add “now wife.” Occasionally I think I’ve said some form of “the woman who is now my wife.”

Was it this guy?
It was not, and I’m sorry to say I don’t get the reference.
