The answer is a Big "NO".Kids or no kids the marriage will be invalid, and the girl will be committing a huge sin every time she has sexual intercourse with her non Muslim husband.
Allah سبحانه و تعالى said:"...And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission..."[Qur'an 2:221]
The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم said :"We may marry a woman from the People of the Book but they may not marry Muslim women"[Tabari, ibid]
Umar رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه said:"A Muslim man may marry a Christian or Jew woman, but the other way around is not allowed"[Tabari, Interpretation of Qur'an 2:221]
