WASP-14 has entry in Washington Double Star catalog as WDS J14331+2154 (WOL 1), however the 1.4" companion does not appear to have a separate entry in Gaia DR2.
2015ApJ...800..138N
designates the companion WASP-14B and provides JHK photometry. 2015A&A...579A.129W reports iz photometry for the same close companion (also designated WASP-14B).
However there is a more distant object (sep = 11".54, PA = 4.78 deg) whose Gaia DR2 data seem consistent with being a common proper motion (common parallax) companion.
WASP-14 = Gaia DR2 1242084170974175232
RA, Dec = 218.27662472270 +21.89468751071 (ICRS, epoch 2015.5)
plx = 6.1442 +- 0.0305 mas
pmRA, pmDec = 29.242, -6.951 (+-0.059, 0.062) mas/yr
G = 9.6465, Bp-Rp = 0.6111
candidate companion "C":
Gaia DR2 1242084166679297920 = 2MASS J14330641+2153524:
RA, Dec = 218.27691277249 +21.89788182199 (ICRS, epoch 2015.5)
plx = 6.0764 +- 0.0969 mas
pmRA, pmDec = 27.973, -6.153 (+-0.197, 0.181) mas/yr
G = 17.3240, Bp-Rp = 2.6664
The colors and absolute G magnitude are consistent with a mid-M dwarf.
Hence WASP-14 is at least a binary, and probably a triple.
