No, Saint Veronica is an apocryphal saint who appears nowhere in the canonical scriptures. Her story arose in an early medieval story expanding on the brief passage in Luke 23:27-31, saying that certain women lamented as Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha. The medieval elaboration says that a woman offered a cloth to wipe the face of Jesus which then resulted in a portrait on the cloth (a reproduction of which is now kept as a relic in Saint Peter's basilica in Rome). Her name was given as Veronica (vera + ikon = "true image"), and she now has a place in the popular exercise of the Stations of the Cross.
It seems unlikely that the medieval authors, well known for their pious creativity, could have known something that the author of Luke did not know. It is even more unlikely that the woman's name happened to coincide with what she was famous for in this story - wiping Jesus' face and receiving a true image of his face. We can say with some certainty that St. Veronica never lived, in which case it is not possible to say she had children.
