Is it permissible to lie to my wife, when she asks about my past sins that I have repented for, in order to prevent her from getting hurt?

Bismihi ta'ala
It is wrong for your wife to pry into your past sins, and if it has nothing to do with your current life or has no involvement with your marriage, it is haram for you to disclose it to others. We are not allowed to expose our previous sins to others, or confess to anyone about the past, especially if we have repented.
She should refrain from asking you about it, and you do not need to lie. You just refuse to give any information about it.
With prayers for your success
