Some do, and some don't, similar to humans. It depends on the species to be more specific. The male fox will often hang around to help raise the young. However, during the next year, some will mate with the same partner again while others will find a different mate.

It's all about fitness of the species.

typically foxes mate for life. the ones that do, if the male dies, then the female will find another mate, but if the female of the pair dies, then the male will not mate with another female ever again.
