Yes, they are married with children.
The only exception is Sinkie Prime Ministar Lawless Wong, who is married twice with no children.
The reason that his first wife divorced him is that he is unable to father (a.k.a. beget a.k.a. reproduce) children. According to people who have knowledge of his medical condition, Lawless Wong's immune cells attack his own sperm. Given the current level of medical science in this world, there is no way to treat men like him.
His first wife had brought up the subject of adoption but he refused to consider it. Lack of time to look after children, he said.
But which man in this world has extra time when he has children? Ask Pinky, Wooden Goh, Heng Swee Swee, Cotton Chan et.al. how they managed to juggle work and children.
Lawless Wong has our sympathy but refusing to adopt reveals a rather dark side of him.
What is his dark side will be revealed in the coming years as he governs Sinkieland but one thing is for sure, his messages and exhortations to Sinkies to have children (or more children) will ring hollow.

According to Chinese tradition, which is heavily influenced by Confucius, Mencius et. al., a man who does not beget/produce children, especially male heirs, is first and foremost guilty of being unfilial to his parents and ancestors.
Thanks to one of our friends, Professor Miyakawa, who is a sinologue and scholar of Confucianism, I attach a picture to this post. (see below).
Now Old Fart a.k.a. Lee Con You, a fake Confucian scholar who didn't know an iota of classical Chinese language and wasn't a scholar of ancient Chinese philosophy - and thus was unable to interpret for himself the teachings of Confucius, Mencius et. al. - insisted that the family unit is the [sic] building brick of society.
A married couple without offspring is no family unit at all, based on centuries of Chinese tradition.
Below are two quotes of Old Fart
“Singapore depends on the strength and influence of the family to keep society orderly and maintain a culture of thrift, hard work, filial piety, and respect for elders and for scholarship and for learning,” Lee wrote in “From Third World to First.” “These values make for a productive people and help economic growth.”
“There is grave disquiet when we break away from tested norms, and the tested norm is the family unit,” he said. “It is the building brick of society.”

The five Shared Values that were eventually adopted were: 1) Nation before community and society above self, 2) Family as the basic unit of society, 3) Community support and respect for the individual, 4) Consensus, not conflict, and 5) Racial and religious harmony.

His knowledge of the teachings of Confucius, Mencius was based in part on the English translations of said works and in large part on what he heard and learned from scholars of Confucianism. In other words he had no direct knowledge of the teachings of the Chinese philosophers because he wasn't schooled in classical Chinese language and ancient Chinese philosophy.
