I was recently told that St Gregory Palamas was married. Is this true?

Saint Gregory was a hesychast monk (on Mount Athos, I believe) so no, he wasn't married.

Perhaps the person who told you this was getting this Gregory confused with Saint Gregory of Nyssa, whom some say was married?

Or St. Gregory the Theologian (Nazianzen) who was also possibly married.
