Whenever she brings up the ex, just say "that's nice" and don't say anything else. Then change the subject.
She'll soon get the hint.
Just to give you a hint as to why she could be like this... if this ex was your boyfriend's first real girlfriend, she could suddenly have become a daughter to this woman. She may still care about her as a daughter and not realise how it's hurting you.
Good Luck!! xx
