He is with a girl hiding his marriage.
Does this mean he is with a girl while he is married to another?

you need a comma somewhere in there to make it more understandable

The sentence is technically gramatically correct. It implies that the girl is hiding his marriage from someone. Now, if you wrote the sentence this way, with a comma:
"He is with a girl, hiding his marriage."
It implies that "He" is hiding his marriage.
Edit: Obviously, it means he is with a girl while he's married to another, no matter how it's punctuated.

Apparently. He could also be with a girl who is hiding his marriage from someone else (her parents?). It's not clearly written.

It sounds a little off. Maybe you would say: He has a girlfriend and is hiding his marriage from her.
