hahaha, nice :)

:) that was really funny.

Didn't read the article, but did it say "first and only"? ;)

It did not. Nobody refers to their current wife as "my first wife." If he was still married to her, it would simply be "my wife"

One (admittedly rare) counterexample is the late Sir Clement Freud:

"We remain together. I call her 'my first wife' to keep her on her toes."

They may do if they have multiple wives, right? In which case, from the perspective of the husband, it might not have been a bad night all around which was my (poorly made) point.
