We know nothing of the life of Homer, except what we can deduce from what is in the poems themselves. All the documentary evidence we have about the author of the poems was written down centuries after the poems, and most of it is self-contradictory (at least seven ancient cities claimed to be Homer's birthplace).
Scholarship can date Homer to the seventh or eight century BC with a reasonable amount of certainty, and the language of the poems seems to be mainly Ionian.
Really, that is all we know about the author of the Iliad and The Odyssey.

The writer of the Odyssey, Homer, is in the opinion of most of today's historians a fictional character. There is not a shred of evidence on the actual existence of a poet called Homer, and the first mention of him is by another Greek author who lived 400 years after Homer supposedly did. So we don't know if he was married even if he did actually exist. But in those days almost all adult Greek males had wives, so it is safe to assume that whatever person(s) wrote the Odyssey, he or they probably were married.
