In SB the only and indirect ref is 9.21.25 p.: "The Suka mentioned

here is different from the Sukadeva Gosvami who spoke

Srimad-Bhagavatam. Sukadeva Gosvami, the son of Vyasadeva, is

described in great detail in the Brahma-vaivarta purana. There it is

said that Vyasadeva maintained the daughter of Jabali as his wife and

that after they performed penances together for many years, he placed

his seed in her womb. (...)"

 

Google found that her name was Vaatikaa:

"On reaching his youth he married to Vatikã, the daughter of Jabali

and begot from her a son by name Shuka who became famous as a

illumined soul of equal vision unsurpassed by anybody."

"Once, a desire arose in the mind of sage Vedavyasa to get married and

raise a family. Reflecting over his desire from every angle, he went

to meet the sage Jabali and proposed to marry his daughter Vatika.

Accepting the proposal, the sage Jabali happily married his daughter

Vatika to VedaVyasa. Thus, living in his hermitage amidst the forests,

Maharishi Vedavyasa began his married life. With time, his wife Vatika

became pregnant and a foetus began to grow in her womb. That foetus

continued to grow for 12 years but no child was born. (...)"
