If she had no children other than Jesus, that would certainly have been reported by Luke. Although Jesus was certainly unique, he was not an only child.

You are misled. St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary lived very chaste lives. After all, he knew that the Holy Spirit (God) had been instrumental in the birth of Jesus Christ (also God.)

In any case, there is the third alternative, which is that Joseph was a widower with children when he married Mary.
