Second wife, who worked at the French Embassy. Who was that?

From the link you provided:

Plame also told Wilson that she'd be moving with him into the new house only as his wife. Records show that Wilson and his second wife, Jacqueline, to whom he was married for 12 years, were divorced in 1998. By the mid-90s, Wilson says, that relationship had pretty much disintegrated. "Separate bedrooms-and I was playing a lot of golf," he says.

So: her name is Jacqueline, she worked at the French embassy in Burundi, and we can deduce that they were married in 1986 and divorced "after 12 years" in 1998. (Wilson started dating Plame in February, 1997).

Thanks. Speaking of the first vs. second wifey, maybe (probably is) just a coinkydink, but the timing of Joe's marital difficulties is interesting. '97/'98. Just got me to thinking.
