That says RR was her husband in 1941 and does not say when the picture was taken. That later he was not her husband is only implied in this sentence rather than stated.
Adding another comma:
"Wyman is pictured with Ronald Reagan, her husband, in 1941."
we have when the picture was taken but we've lost the information about the change of marital status altogether.
