The Bible doesn't say.

Additional Comments:

We can deduce that Job remarried and followed God's Law fully as he was greatly blessed more than before this major testing. It was highly uncommon for families to live without married parents:

Job 42:12-15New International Version (NIV)

12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
