I, by chance, did a kind of Adjective + Prepositions, in which i haven't got the meaning precisely of the following statement "he's married with 2 kids"??
I got quite confused of WITH in the sentence.
Thank you for your help!
 
Not a teacher!

1. Research the meaning of "with".

I found: with with - Definition and pronunciation | Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary at OxfordLearnersDictionaries.com No 2

Practical English Usage: entry 631 No 5 - possession

English Grammar in Use: unit 130 C

2. Apply this meaning to the sentence.

In your example 'with' means 'have'. He is married and has two kids.

3. Arrive at a happy ending.

I am not sure that I got this one right. Every time I look up 'to marry, marriage' I get redirected to 'divorce'.

That's what happened with all my wives.
 
That's what happened with all my [former] wives.

If that happened to all of them, I believe you missed what I added ;-)
