The New Testament provides no answer to this question. In fact, it never explicitly states that Paul was ever married. However, there are scattered indications that he once was:
Acts 26:10 - "This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them."
Paul's statement seems to indicate that he was a member of the Jewish judicial body known as the Sanhedrin. If so, he was married at one time, for that was a requirement of membership.
Some references in his epistles also seem to indicate that Paul was a widower (see especially 1 Corinthians 7:8, 9),but that's not at all certain, nor (if true) is there any inkling of what happened to his wife.
Additional Comments:
It is not clear from the Scripture as there are those above that seem to support a time of marriage in Paul's life and these that seem to suggest he never married:
1 Corinthians 7:7-9New King James Version (NKJV)7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Galatians 1:14New King James Version (NKJV)14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
The above Galatians verse suggest Paul was well on his way to becoming a Sanhedrin but stopped short of becoming one.
So, no direct Scriptural statement Paul was married but it is indeed possible he was before his calling.

Who was Demas in The Bible?
DEMAS (De′mas) [possibly a shortened form of "Demetrius," meaning "Of (Belonging to) Demeter"]. A onetime fellow worker of the apostle Paul. Demas was in Rome with the apostle during his first imprisonment there, his greetings being included in letters to the Colossians and to Philemon. (Col 4:14; Phm 24) When Paul wrote to Timothy during his second imprisonment, Demas had forsaken the apostle and departed to Thessalonica, perhaps his hometown.-2Ti 4:10. The exact nature of Demas' forsaking Paul 'because of his love for the present system of things' is not disclosed. The apostle does not say Demas became an apostate or opposer. Perhaps Demas' love for material things and worldly pleasures became stronger than that for spiritual things. Fear of martyrdom with Paul may have caused Demas to seek a safer place and thus preserve his life in the then-existing system of things. In any event, when conditions became unfavorable, Demas failed to use his marvelous opportunity to strengthen his brother Paul.
