Lost contacts on iphone

I’ve lost my contacts on my iPhone 8 replaced by my wife’s contacts. We have separate iCloud accounts. Any advice to recover them appreciated.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

If your wife has a separate iCloud account from yours, then it would be very difficult for her contacts to replace yours. Are you sure that you were not sharing an email account that has contacts and you have that turned on? Anyway, see this to see if you can restore your iCloud contacts from iCloud.
