I believe you're still expected to be celibate once taking your vows.

No, married priests are not expected to be celibate (a term that in Catholic contexts specifically means “unmarried”) after taking their vows, they remain married.

Nor are they expected to refrain from sex within marriage, which may be what you mean.

What is the standard path for a married man to become a Roman Rite Catholic priest (besides being a married Anglican priest who decided to convert)?
