I dont think he did, well not by Mary that is, maybe step brothers from Joseph, in the sparse narratives from his early life it doesnt mention them.
All the people named as his brothers and sisters are at other times in the New Testament named as having some other person as their mother.
It is possible Joseph died while Jesus was still relatively young, in his early teens. He and Mary could have lived with relatives of either her or Joseph as part of an extended family, the other children in this extended family would then have been seen as being his brothers and sisters. A fairly common practice in that particular culture.
