No. Usually, hippos live in family groups, usually a single mature bull with several cows and calves. It's actually closer to hippos being polygamists, like certain sects of Mormons. If you want to draw a human parallel.

Although they live in pods and tend to huddle close in the water, hippos do not form special bonds with each other. The only exception is between a mother and her female calf. Within the pods, hippos segregate themselves by gender, and tend to huddle with other hippos of the same sex.
