It's possible. There's no evidence to suggest either way really. But if Jesus had children, and supposing some of his descendants are alive and his line didn't die out (it was 2000 years ago after all), it's highly unlikely that they know anything about it

Hollywood intends to re-write history but one only needs to research for themselves the validity of the claims. For example the quality of the New Testament documents can be validated outside of the Bible through the research of Josephus Flavius, Tacitus, Caesar's Gallic Wars, Herodotus, and Thucydides. In fact there are 5366 documents discovered so far to validate that the Bible we have today is 99.5% as accurate as it was way back then. For example:
The first-century Jewish historian Josephus referred to the stoning of “James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.” (The Jewish Antiquities, Josephus, Book XX, sec. 200) A direct and very favorable reference to Jesus, found in Book XVIII, sections 63, 64, has been challenged by some who claim that it must have been either added later or embellished by Christians; but it is acknowledged that the vocabulary and the style are basically those of Josephus, and the passage is found in all available manuscripts.
Tacitus, a Roman historian who lived during the latter part of the first century C.E., wrote: “Christus [Latin for “Christ”], from whom the name [Christian] had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.”—The Complete Works of Tacitus (New York, 1942), “The Annals,” Book 15, par. 44.
With reference to early non-Christian historical references to Jesus, The New Encyclopædia Britannica states: “These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus, which was disputed for the first time and on inadequate grounds by several authors at the end of the 18th, during the 19th, and at the beginning of the 20th centuries.”—(1976), Macropædia, Vol. 10, p. 145.
Internal evidence is pretty clear as well. 2 Peter 3:15-16 clearly states that the canon was already in the process of being collected for what we have today in the Bible. There were gnostic books but they were not accepted because they were written by Hellenistic writers that intended to change the original message of the Greek translation to imply that Jesus was not the Son of God.

Much of the life is of Jesus is undocumented. Further more the documentation that is there has been altered time and again.
So a reasonable shadow of a doubt does exist.
He could have been married and had children.
He also had brothers and sisters, so the blood line most assuredly could have carried on. Proving is the problem.
I do believe their could be secret knowledge passed on over the years. Again, I am sure by now its probably tainted information though.

No. I don't believe that at all. By the time Jesus met Mary Magdalene, He would have already been married, if He was married at all.
I don't believe He was married at all. I think He would have been a little bit too busy to get married.

I love the answers with certainty that Jesus had no wife.
There is no proof Jesus or Mary Mags every truly existed.
To me they exist only as fictional works in a fictional book, just like Tom Sawyer and the characters in the Da Vinci Code.

Jesus never married. Symbolically, the bride of Christ is the Church. The Da Vinci code is fiction, not fact.

To get married would negate the reason Jesus was SENT to our earth. To 'buy back', with his precious life, the right to again live without death, what the disobedience of adam cost us,
There was never any intention on God's part, for Adam and Eve to have to die.
Death came about because they disobeyed God.
Genesis 2; 16,17
Jesus bought it back for us. And it will come into operation after Armageddon.
Psalms 37; 9,11,29,34

No. I don't see any evidence of that at all. Jesus was married to the church and seemed to be pretty busy to take a wife.

More like docu-fiction. No, Mary and Jesus were not married.
