It depends on the context and what you mean by 'relationship'. We are talking to each other on here therefore have a 'relationship' of sorts; if you're referring to a more meaningful relationship, I don't think that staying with someone implies that. You can stay with someone - sleeping on their floor, for example - and just be an acquaintance of them.
