I can't speak for other people, but I tend to pronounce stuff in my head when I read, and in my head I pronounce it as a single one-syllable word, not as "wives and girlfriends." It's possible other people don't have this problem, though.

People definitely say 'WAGs' or 'she's a WAG' here (UK) when talking about football players and their partners.

I'm pretty sure that's where it originated and it spread to North America from there, already being said as a word rather than an acronym. I remember the first time I ever heard it here in the US was entertainment news coverage of the Spice Girls, quoting stuff from the UK that used it.
