Tell your friend you are NOT interested in what your ex is up to. Tell her (him?) you'd really appreciate it if she would stop bringing him up. Tell her she needs to find something more interesting to talk about. Then, if it happens again just walk out of the room, or ignore her completely and start your own topic of conversation.

Tell her thank you for updating you on your ex-husbands love life. Tell her that you appreciate the news that he's happy. Tell her that you're glad that he is well, but that you don't wish to discuss his life any longer, because it's awkward. Tell her that you, and he will not ever become friends, and therefore there is no need to discuss his life. She should feel free to pursue his friendship, if she wishes, but it's not your goal, so let's move on.
I think that she either doesn't get that it is unimportant to you, or she may be trying to let you know that the ex, and his new girlfriend are now included in her social circle.
Good luck

It will be hard, but tell your friend my life with me ex is over and I dont need to here their day to day going ons. If this person is a true friend they will understand. If your friend keeps talking about it change the subject

Tell the person to cut it out. If they do it one more time, tell them that at least the x isn't doing the wild thing like your friend's spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend are.... you get the drift. Just act innocent and say, oh I thought you knew/ or wanted to know...

Tell your fiend that what's going on with your ex is no concern of yours and if it was you could find out on your own.

Just say, "I'm glad that he was able to find someone and I feel uncomfortable when you bring that up."

Just tell him that you are not interested and stop talking about it.
