He will need to disclose it. Depending on the reason why he was deported (was she simply illegal or was some crime? you did not say), there might be a waiver (I-212 possible. You need to pay for ONE petition I-129F ($340) listing your finance. His children must also be listed on the form where appropriate. At the consulate, there will be 4 applicants (Fiance + 3 kids), so you will pay 4 times $350 for the K-1 and K-2s visas. Good luck.

Depending on why your boyfriend was deported he may not be eligible for a waiver as part of his K1 fiance application. Assuming he is eligible, the waiver is applied for after he is denied his K1 visa. You do not file it with the I-129 petition. You do not have to file separate I-129F petitions or pay the I-129F filing fee for the children.
