Morphology
The meaning 'a connection involving emotional or social interaction' is directly derivable from combining 'personal' (relating to someone's private life) with 'relationship' (a connection between people). This adjective+noun composition follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Personal relationship shows two people who share private feelings and time together. Personal means 'private' or about a person and relationship means the connection between people, so the phrase means a 'close' and 'private' emotional link between them.
