Lucy Lombard, per the talk page. The name "Lombard" is used more times than "Fletcher" in the script, and Moffat's use of alliterative names for the main characters was an intentional comic trope.

Talk about it here.

Lucy Lombard (neé Fletcher) was a reporter for the Daily Chronicle. She lived in New York City with her daughter Jennifer and her partner and nanny Grant.

She was an old school friend of Grant's, but before Grant could confess his love, his best friend beat him to it and Lucy married him. However, once Mr. Lombard found out she was pregnant, he left. Grant became nanny to Lucy's daughter Jennifer, unaware that he still loved her.

When the Twelfth Doctor and Nardole arrived in New York investigating Harmony Shoal Institute, the adventure led Lucy to finding out the Ghost was Grant and how deeply he cared for her. They decided to become a couple. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio) Lucy showed herself a particularly perceptive woman at the end of this adventure, picking up on the Doctor's claim of having "been away for a while" as being tied to a woman he loved. Though the Doctor neglected to elaborate or answer her question about the woman's identity, Nardole did, assuring her and Grant that the Doctor would be okay.

Lucy and Grant later married. Eight years after the Harmony Shoal incident, the Doctor returned to Lucy's life asking to take Grant on a quest through time and space looking for the three siblings of the crystal which gave Grant his powers. Grant refused to go unless he could bring Lucy and Jennifer with him.

The first location visited in this quest was a post-apocalyptic version of New York City. (COMIC: Ghost Stories)
