Is it normal for my partner to have a "Back-up"?

I have been seeing my partner for the past few months and we recently decided to become exclusive. Earlier this month she told me one of her coworkers asked her out and she rejected him. However, I overheard her telling one of her friends that she wishes he would've asked her out earlier and that he'll be the first to know if anything changes between us. She jokingly added, "it's always good to have a back-up...". I don't know how I should feel about this. What is the best move in this situation?
