Are you sharing an AppleID?
If all your devices are sharing a common AppleID for iCloud, you’ll encounter all kinds of issues with unintentional and/or unwanted sharing of sensitive/private information (including Messages). You’ll not be able to reliably maintain any kind of data separation.
The Golden Rule: Don’t share an AppleID between users. Each user should have their own AppleID for their own exclusive use - linked to their own primary email (and secondary/recovery email addresses and trusted telephone numbers).
If you are sharing a single AppleID account, you would be best advised to separate your digital identities and configure a new AppleID either for your or your wife.
After separating your identities, you can continue to selectively share purchased Apple Services, Subscriptions, Apps and Media using Apple’s Family Sharing features:
Set up Family Sharing – Apple Support
Share App Store, iTunes Store and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing – Apple Support

How did you set it up exactly?
Sounds like you logged in to your wife's Apple ID and used one of her device backups, or are in fact sharing an Apple ID with her, which should absolutely never be done.
You can erase it and set it up again, making sure you are logged in with your Apple ID when setting it up, and are not selecting a backup made form her devices or are using a device that is logged in to her Apple ID to migrate from.

How do I set up my iPad with my information rather than my spouses information?
