Just found out fiancé still shares bank account with ex wife! Their children are 32! He claims it’s incase the kids need something!!!??? I have been on my own since I was 18 so if the gown kids need something why can’t they ask and have money transferred to THEIR accounts without Mummy and daddy having to share an account!?

Probably a throw back to before eTransfers. When was the last time it was used and is it a free no service charge account?
Is there a deeper issue why this bothers you?

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to laziness.

I would not stay with, nevermind be engaged to, a man who still has shared finances with his ex-wife. He either keeping things from you or ridiculously lax about keeping up with his financial affairs. Either way, that wouldn't work for me.

How much is in that joint account? Does your partner add money to it every month? Does it put your own joint finances at risk?

No deeper issue. Just I feel this is wrong.
