Well, in a sense, yes....
Jeroboam was the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon's, and an Ephraimite from Zeredah(1 Kings 11:26).
Solomon was from the tribe of Judah
so the 'relationship' would have been VERY distant. (If you go far enough back, ALL of us on earth, even today, could be considered 'related'...through Adam.)
Solomon would have been related to Jeroboam through the twelve sons of Jacob. (Solomon through Judah; Jeroboam through Judah's nephew, Ephraim).
Rehoboam (Jeroboam's rival)WAS, however, closely related, being Solomon's son.(2 Chronicles 13:6-7)
No. Jeroboam was from the tribe of Ephraim, while King Solomon was from the tribe of Judah. See also:

Solomon, Rehoboam, and Jeroboam were all kings in ancient Israel. Solomon was known for his wisdom and wealth, Rehoboam was Solomon's son who ruled after him and led to the split of the kingdom, and Jeroboam was the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the split. They were all key figures in the history of Israel.
No king Saul and king Solomon are not related.
Rehav'am (Jeroboam) led the people in a protest against the taxation.
Nowhere does it say that Solomon was disliked.(The tax-load of which the people later complained, became an issue only after his death. During King Solomon's lifetime, the tax was considered an acceptable necessity.)Jeroboam spoke a related complaint during Solomon's reign, but it doesn't say that anyone sided with him at that time.
No, the Solomon Sea is not related to King Solomon. The Solomon Sea is a sea located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, while King Solomon was a biblical king known for his wisdom and building the First Temple in Jerusalem.
