The wife of Herod Antipas was Herodias, who was originally married to Herod Antipas' half-brother, Herod Philip. Herodias left Herod Philip to marry Herod Antipas, which was considered scandalous and led to criticism from John the Baptist. This ultimately led to John the Baptist's imprisonment and execution.
