Yes, Herod Antipas B.C. 4 - A.D. 39 was first married to the daughter of Aretas, an Arabian king of Petraea. Antipas was intrigued with Herodias, the wife of his half-brother, Philip I. Antipas and Herodias eloped and wed even though each were still married to their spouses.
Actually there were several Herods, as Herod didn't refer to just one person, but an entire family. Some of them were Agrippa I, Agrippa II, ANTIPATER I, ANTIPATER II, HEROD THE GREAT, JOSEPH, PHERORAS, ALEXANDER, ARISTOBULUS, HEROD King of Chalcis, AGRIPPA I King of Palestine, AGRIPPA II King of Chalcis, HEROD PHILIP, ARCHELAUS King of Judea.
