Wifey isn't technically a real word, but it's slang.
It kind of means the same as wife, but is used more casually. People will sometimes call their female friends wifey, it's especially used between teenage/younger adult girls.

It's a recent slang term for "wife". I've been hearing it on TV shows and in music. It's like "hubby" for "husband". It's sometimes used condescendingly, so some people don't like it. Like any term, slang or otherwise, it's the tone or way you use it that makes it appropriate or not.
Hope that helps!

@squidlydeux is right. It is slang and may be offensive to some. I would avoid its use.

A very informal (but sometimes endearing) way to say “ma femme”.
