I hope you mean Julius Caesar. Their relationship is, like all things having to do with Cleopatra, largely hyped. Yes, Caesar did go to Egypt chasing after Pompey, yes, Caesar did recall Cleopatra from exile, and yes there was a war and a physical relationship.(Caesar was a known womanizer) Modern scholars are questioning this relationship. What is in doubt is the paternity of Cleo's kid, who she called Caesarion, meaning something like "Little Caesar" . However he was called by that name only in Egypt. There is evidence that the two made an agreement in which Caesar would put Cleopatra on the throne and back her up with Roman troops, while Cleopatra would pay off the massive debt her father had run up, which was owed to Caesar. (The circumstances of this debt were due to the partnership of Caesar and Pompey who bought up the debt from the Roman money lenders). In order to insure that Cleopatra remained on the throne, Caesar and Cleo and Roman troops took a sail up the Nile as a show of force. When Caesar left Egypt, he also left troops to both protect Cleopatra (the Alexandrians were not happy with her as their queen) and to keep an eye on Cleopatra making sure that she upheld her end of their bargain. It seems as Caesar never fully trusted Cleopatra.

How did the relationship between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra present challenges to Caesar?
Caesar's affair with Cleopatra was a scandal in Rome because he was married to another woman Calpurnia Pisonis. However, this was not a big problem for Caesar. Affairs between aristocrats were tolerated and they were mainly an occasion for gossip. Caesar himself was a philanderer and had affairs with many marries women, including the wives of his closest allies. It was even rumoured that he had a homosexual relationship with the king of Bithynia. However, Caesar had a golden statue of Cleopatra as the Egyptian god Isis erected in the temple of Venus Genitrix which he had built for the religious cult based on his own person he had established. This did not go down well. Cicero said that he hated this foreign queen. Caesar was also criticised when he took Arsinoe VI of Egypt to Rome and forced her to appear in his triumph. Arsinoe was Cleopatra's younger sister and co-regent. When Caesar was in Alexandria (the capital of Egypt) he took he took Cleopatra's side in the conflict between her and Ptolemy XIII, her brother, husband and co-regent. He got caught in a civil war. Arsinoe organised a resistance against Caesar and Cleopatra. Her troops besieged Caesar in the Pharos (lighthouse) of Alexandria. Caesar escaped by throwing himself in the sea. He got out of this tight spot only WHEN Mithridates I, king of Bithynia (in northwester Turkey) and Antipater I, king of Judaea came to relieve him with their armies. During fake peace negotiations with the Egyptians, Caesar agreed to swap Ptolemy for Arsinoe. The crowd was disgusted at seeing a queen brought in the arena in chain and in a cage. Caesar got a mock of the Pharos of Alexandria placed in the arena as a revenge for Arsinoe having him trapped in the Pharos. It was custom for prominent prisoners in triumphs to be strangled at the end of the celebrations. The outraged crowd called for Arsinoe to be spared. Caesar complied and exiled her to the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus (on the western coast of Turkey) which gave sanctuary to exiles and political refugees. Despite the above, Caesar's affair with Cleopatra and entanglements with her family, damaged Caesar's political standing only marginally.
Who gave Cleopatra the right to rule Egypt?
Cleopatra's father actually gave her the right to rule Egypt along with her brother. They were to be co-rulers under the terms of his will. They had a falling out and Cleopatra had to go into exile. Now here's the tricky part. Julius Caesar arrived in Egypt at the time of the rift between Cleo and her brother. Rome had been made the protector of Egypt and as Caesar was Rome's representative, he stepped in to try to make peace. It didn't work and the Alexandrian war broke out which resulted in the death of Cleo's brother and Caesar establishing Cleopatra on the throne with Rome's backing and protection.
