In course of time the family of Jesus grew as four sons and some daughters were born to Joseph and Mary. (Matthew 13:54-56; Mark 6:3.)
In time, James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas are born, and Mary and Joseph become parents to girls also. Eventually Jesus has, at the very least, six younger brothers and sisters.
Jesus has other relatives too. We already know about his older cousin John, who lives many miles away in Judea. But living closer by in Galilee is Salome, who apparently is Mary’s sister. Salome is married to Zebedee, so their two boys, James and John, would be Jesus’ cousins. We do not know whether, while growing up, Jesus spends much time with these boys, but later they become close companions.

He had none. Most people misinterpret the scriptures that talk about Jesus' brothers as meaning siblings. In the time of Jesus, the word brother didn't mean the same thing as it means today. In that time, you would call your cousin your brother, or your uncle, or brother-in-law, or even your friend. It didn't necessarily mean your actual sibling.
