It really might depend on why you're asking - while Kentucky is generally a "no fault" state (ie fault by either party is irrelevant to the divorce proceedings), it might impact custody, child support and/or alimony.

Would any of these things be of concern to you?

That's not what OP asked. She asked if it was illegal. The answer is 'yes'. Bigamy is still a crime in KY.

Wife On Run, First Kentucky Woman Facing Bigamy Charges - Cincinnati News Story - WLWT Cincinnati


Correction:
I don't know why I was thinking bigamy, when what she is describing is clearly adultery, but not bigamy. It's not illegal. Stupid, maybe, but not illegal. Sorry.

The answer is 'no', living with a boyfriend while still married is not illegal. It is also not bigamy.

Adultery is illegal (i.e. prohibited by statute) in some states. I do not know if Kentucky is one of those.

However, I'm guessing DA's usually have better things to do with their time than prosecute adultery cases.

That being said, it can still have an effect on things outside of custody / child support / alimony. In NC, a woman was denied a promotion (or removed from her position, I forget which, and it's been several years since it cropped up) within her county sheriff's department because she & her SO were living together w/o being married. I don't know, off the top of my head, what the status in the appellate courts was of that case, or whether the parties settled.

NC is the one state we know of, and have known of for quite a while, that still enforces those kinds of laws.
