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.
The wife of Herod Antipas was Herodias, who was originally married to Herod Antipas' half-brother, Herod Philip.
