No, she is not currently married to a British Citizen, so the 5-year rule applies to her.

So you need to apply on your own, and as soon as you attend your Citizenship Ceremony and get handed your Certificate of Naturalisation, surprise surprise, your wife is married to a British Citizen ... and can apply using the 3-year rule.
