It’s “related to”. ✔️

This is a mistake that Spanish and Portuguese speakers often make.

> ❌ It’s related **with** another issue.

Probably because in these languages it’s “relacionado **con**/com”. However, in English, the correct preposition is “**to**”.

> ✔️ It’s related **to** another issue.
> 
> ✔️ It’s related **to** them being on vacation.
> 
> ✔️ She’s unrelated **to** that old man.
> 
> ✔️ There’s a rumor in relation **to** the recent events.

In some rare cases, you can see [“related with”](https://english.stackexchange.com/a/425749), but you should normally say “**related to**”.
