Not by the Constitution or any law.
But the way popular opinion works in the US, anyone who doesn't conform to the traditional family values stereotype would have a hard time getting elected.

No its not a requirement, but it would be nice if the President is married, for family values purposes.

No. and Calvin Cooldge was married. Born in Plymouth, Vt., on July 4, 1872, Coolidge attended Amherst College (B.A., 1895), studied law, and was admitted to the bar. In 1905 he married Grace Goodhue (1879–1957), whose social sophistication contrasted markedly with her husband’s sometimes curt manner.
It was James Buchananwho wasn't married.

No, it is not required, politically speaking, it looks more presidential if the president is married. It's all about the perceived image.

Not officially, but it can help to boost your "family values" rating.
