Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

I own a house with my ex husband who is getting married next month. He has signed a quit claim deed but he is still on the loan with me. Would his new wife be responsible or liable if we fail to pay the loan? Can we refinance the house together after his marriage without her approval?
