Relationship is a very broad term & in the purest sense, he had at least an OWNERSHIP relationship with all his slaves..

Sally Hemmings was his slave but he apparently also was sexually intimate & several of her children's ancestors have Jefferson's DNA.

Sally & most of Jefferson's slaves came as dowery from his wifes family when they married.

Sally may have also been a half sister to Jefferson's first wife, meaning his father-in law, was intimate with Sally's mother... That slave thing got pretty involved & confusing, with a lot of blurred moral lines crossed.
