The pope is not married, though it's not technically forbidden for a pope to be married; any male Roman Catholic can theoretically be elected pope, and if he was already married, then he'd still be married as pope.
In practice, the chances of someone who isn't already a high-ranking ecclesiastical official (and thus forbidden to marry) being elected pope are basically zero.
