No; it was half man half bull. It did not have a wife before it was killed by the hero Theseus.
No, the Minotaur was the son of King Minos' wife and a bull. He was imprisoned in the labyrinth on Crete.

I think you mean "killed the Minotaur", because the Minotaur wasn't "found", it was born to Minos' wife, the Queen of Crete. In that case, it was Theseus
It was born by his wife, who had an affair with a bull sent by Poseidon.

The gods didn't associate with the Minotaur. In fact, you could consider the Minotaur a divine punishment for Minos' greed and hubris. He was supposed to sacrifice the Cretan Bull, but didn't - instead keeping it as a symbol of his divine providence. Poseidon punished him by making his wife desire the bull, later copulating with it and giving birth to the Minotaur.
Minotaur was bornt by Pasifae, wife of Minos, king of Crete. Poseidon sent a white bull to Minos to sucrifice him in order to give him his support against his brothers who wanted his throne. But Minos sucrificed another bull hoping that he would deceive the god. Poseidon was then angry and made his wife fall in love with the white bull. So by her cοupling with the bull, Minotaur was bornt.
