The idea that Jesus had wife Mary Magdalene, and children, particularly one girl and two boys, is quite popular on earth. There are books dating back to 5th or later centuries talking about that. The Churches do not discuss the books at all. Usually some prelate goes to media to say it is a "late forgery" every time a new manuscript has been discovered.

Sir, i call you insane when i see you writing stuff like these!
Jesus had a wife and children? And they were written in books? Why don't you make a research first and then speak? Do i speak about nuclear physics? No cause i have never studied it. Then how you speak about the Churches while you have never studied them as a matter of fact?
Those books you are refering were all written by Coptic Christians. Coptics were always considered a heresy/sect. From the moment their beliefs were created, they were considered a heresy/sect. At that time, Church was not divided in Orthodoxs and Catholics. So you can understand that Church united considered them as heresy/sect.
The "Gospel of Jesus' Wife" is the name given to a papyrus fragment with writing in Coptic that includes the words, "Jesus said to them, 'my wife...'".[1] The text on the fragment is alleged to be a fourth-century Coptic translation of what is said to be "a gospel probably written in Greek in the second half of the second century."[2]
In April 2014, a careful analysis of the papyrus and the ink showed that the papyrus itself is ancient and dates to between the sixth and ninth centuries.[8][9][10][11] Scientists and scholars from the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, in New York, Princeton University, University of Arizona, Harvard University in conjunction with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Columbia University, MIT and more determined that "scientific testing provides no indication of modern fabrication (“forgery”), but does consistently offer positive evidence that the fragment as a material artifact is ancient."
