Official Teaching (explicit or derivative):
Jesus has no blood brothers or sisters.
Joseph and Mary’s marriage was never consummated.
Pious Legend:
Joseph was a widower. This is attested in the ProtoEvangelion of James, a 1st century document that tells us about Joseph and Mary before they were married. It is not, however, Church teaching.
