Peter was married. The name of his wife is unknown nor is it known if he lived with her once he started his ministry.
Saint Peter was the first leader of an early Christian community for at least 34 years. At that time the term Pope or Papa was not yet coined. At that time there was only one Christian Church/Faith.
