It’s tradition. It’s not canon. Most of the info about Mary’s life, including everything prior to the Annunciation, comes from tradition and private revelation.

Yes it is. Especially from the Copts. Many Christians distrust the Copts due to their beliefs. But thinking straight, let us admit that in the Middle East, the ancestors of the people actually met Jesus Christ, the Apostles and Virgin Mary. Of course memory fades and myths have their power, but still… it’s hard to just ignore what is oral tradition there.
 
I’m fine with it myself. Venerable Mary of Agreda also wrote a lot about Mary’s life as revealed to her. I’m fine with all that too.
People aren’t required to believe it though.

Much of the tradition surrounding the Blessed Virgin Mary comes the Protoevangelium of James.
 
Because He was travelling constantly, not because He didn’t have a home.
