" Nefertiti was King Tut's father's (King Akhenaten's) first wife. She is not related to King Tut and died about a year after Tut became pharaoh."

That's not entirely accurate. Her disappearance is part of what may have caused the downfall of his father's reign and the capitol being in Amarna. Historically, we are still not sure what happened to Nefertiti, and there's new evidence she might have been Pharaoh herself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti#Death

Tut's wife outlived him, and is thought to have married one of his advisors, which is why this entire episode is perplexing.
