My voicemail messages are going to my wife’s phone, too.

There's only one way that happens and that is because you and your wife share the same Apple Account. That needs to stop, unless you and your wife are OK, with voicemails appearing on both phones. Merged call logs. The ability for either of you to delete photos and check each others text messages. You or your wife could also change the Apple Account Password, locking you out of your phone.
