The answer

Ibn Sa'd mentioned in his Tabaqat the wives of the Commander of the Faithful, Umar ibn al-Khattab, and their children. They are:

Zaynab bint Maz'un: She bore him Abdullah, Abdur-Rahman, and Hafsah. Umm Kulthum bint Ali ibn Abi Talib: She bore him Zayd al-Akbar and Ruqayya. Umm Kulthum bint Jarwal: She bore him Zayd al-Asghar and Ubaydullah. Islam separated them. Jamila bint Thabit: She bore him Asim. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, changed her name from Asiyah to Jamila. Lahiyya (a concubine): She bore him Abdur-Rahman al-Awsat (Abu al-Mujabbar). Another concubine: She bore him Abdur-Rahman al-Asghar. Umm Hakim bint al-Harith al-Makhzumiyyah: She bore him Fatimah. Fukayha (a concubine): She bore him Zaynab (Umar's youngest child). Atikah bint Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl: She bore him Iyad.

Al-Ayni also mentioned that Umar had another wife named Quraybah bint Abi Umayyah, and Islam also separated them.
