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."

I've heard people say "my girlfriend at the time... now wife"

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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."

It was not, and I'm sorry to say I don't get the reference.
