Like, almost zero correlation.

Strength is strongly correlated with muscle *size* (but not 100%), definition is literally just how much fat you have.

So if you have huge muscles and have a lot of fat, you’ll be very strong but not very defined. If you have small muscles and very little fat, you’ll be well defined but comparatively weak.
