married man

Taken, not single

A married man is a man who has a wife—someone currently in a legal marriage.

The phrase often carries undertones of unavailability or obligation: She didn't know he was a married man.

A married man may be contrasted with a bachelor or single man, emphasizing his domestic commitments or off-limits romantic status.
