Would have

Context: there are four people mentioned in this conversation. Ravi, Hari, Sam know each other But Ram only knows Hari and Hari only know Ram. Her, the conversation goes:

Ram: You know what. One of my friends, Hari, just divorced his wife.

Sam: His wife would have probably cheated on him.


Here, is the response of Sam correct with would have? (The context is Sam doesn't know Hari.)
