a cutie and his ex-wife

This season, Charlie romances a beautiful ballet dancer, and Alan dates a 22-year-old cutie and his domineering ex-wife.
-- Two and a Half Men: Season 3 on page 52 in Tribute, May/June 2008

When I first read this, I was surprised to learn that Two and a Half Men have a gay lead character (who dates a 22-year-old male cutie), until I reread the sentence and guessed through the ambiguity that the ex-wife probably belongs to Alan, not the cutie. How did you read it?
