I dont think it is ether confirmed but I remember reading in a book Plato writing a poen to a Xanthippe. But, it does not state whether the Xanthippe is Socrates wife or not. I believe the book I saw it in was called 'Ribaldry of Greece' but the author escapes me.
Unfortunately, this neither answers the question but it proves he was in love with a women called Xanthippe. Unfortunately, I do not know if Xanthippe was a popualr name in Ancient Athens or read any confirmation either way.
Hope this helps.

There is no historical evidence to support the idea that Plato had an affair with Socrates. Plato was a student and admirer of Socrates, and their relationship was based on philosophical discussions and mentorship rather than a romantic or sexual relationship.
Socrates had children when he was in his mid-thirties. He had three sons with his wife, Xanthippe.
Socrates had a wife namedXanthippe. She had one son.
The info I have on him reads like he was in the military first and then married.

Xanthippe

There is no historical evidence to suggest that Diogenes of Sinope had an affair with Xanthippe, who was the wife of Socrates. Diogenes was known for his ascetic lifestyle and disdain for societal norms, while Xanthippe is often remembered for her tumultuous relationship with Socrates. The two figures belonged to different philosophical traditions and were not known to have interacted in any romantic capacity. Most accounts of their lives focus on their respective philosophies rather than personal relationships.

He had three sons, oldest to youngest, were Lamprocles, Sophroniscus (named for Socrates' father), and Menexenus.
Socrates was married to a young wife called Xanthippe by whom he had three sons. She did indeed give him a hard time.
