Does having a partner/cohabitant void my F2A green card?

My mother petitioned me on a F2A family-based visa a long time ago. I was unmarried but had a partner and 2 kids throughout the petition. My green card was granted and I immigrated in 2013 with my 2 kids. in 2017 I married the father of my children, whom I had always had a relationship with. I'm concerned because he has his interview coming up at the embassy in Peru and he will (has to) talk about and show evidence of our relationship since it started. Am I at risk if they figure out that I immigrated on a F2A visa and was not single, although legally unmarried.

Defacto relationships are not recognized by USCIS so unmarried relationships do not void the visa conditions    But the history as you described may raise questions about the relationship especially if you have lived apart for many years. The question he will have to answer is “is it a marriage  for the purpose of immigration “ You will need strong evidence of a bonafide marriage .
