Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you've just created a new Apple ID, that email address can be used for your iCloud account. All you have to do is sign out of your wife's iCloud account, and sign in with your new Apple ID and password.
Here are a few articles that will explain this:

The "Frequently Asked Questions" section of this article may be relevant for you.

Before you delete your wife's iCloud account from your iPhone, turn off each of the features ( contacts, calendars, etc. ) and when prompted, choose to "Keep on My iPhone" if you wish to keep that information. If don't want or need any of this, then skip down to the selection below to delete the iCloud account completely.
Turn iCloud features off
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off iCloud features.
When you turn off a feature, you’re asked whether you want your device to keep a copy of your information stored in iCloud for that feature.
Once you have saved the contacts, calendars, etc. that you want from the current iCloud account on your iPhone, then you can delete the current iCloud account from your device.
Turn off iCloud completely
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
At this point, I would suggest turning off the phone, and restarting it. Then, tap on Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap on Add Account. Tap iCloud. Now type in your new Apple ID email address and password.
Have a great day!
