Wendy Haverford is Tom Haverford's ex-wife. She is a successful surgeon with a pediatric surgery fellowship. She surprises everyone she meets, because she is exceptionally attractive and pleasant, and she seems to be way out of Tom's league.
Storyline
Season Two
It is learned in the second season by Ron Swanson that Wendy and Tom's marriage is a green-card marriage, and that she is from Canada. In "Tom's Divorce", she and Tom get a divorce. It is revealed after the divorce finalization that Tom has genuine feelings for Wendy, although he does not disclose them to her. He is encouraged by Leslie Knope and her then-boyfriend Justin Anderson to ask out Wendy. When Tom finally does, she turns him down, seeing him only as a friend. Tom then blackmails her by suing her for alimony unless she goes on a date with him. This does not go over well, so Tom finally relents, apologizes, and they part as friends. Ron expresses interest in dating Wendy after Tom and her's divorce. In the Season 2 finale "Freddy Spaghetti", Tom sees Wendy and Ron kissing.
Season Three
Ron and Wendy begin a relationship in Season 3, which troubles her ex-husband Tom so much that his girlfriend Lucy breaks up with him. In "Ron & Tammy: Part 2", Ron's ex-wife Tammy 2 continues her efforts to sabotage his life, but the normally susceptible Ron easily resists her seductions because he is now in a solid relationship with Wendy, much to Tom's jealously. Later, however, Wendy and Ron break up after she announces she is moving back to Canada to be closer to her parents. She asks if Ron wouldn't want to move up there with her, and he laughs at the idea.
