Not really implied as much as left to one's imagination thus far...
Dondarrion's squire did tell Arya that he knew Jon's birth mother - but whether the woman in question really was Jon's birth mother or a switch was done between a child of Lyanna/? and a random woman hasn't been revealed. But there is obviously a big secret with Jon's parentage. And Jon is definitely part Stark. And Lyanna made Ned promise her something as she lay dying. Seems to fit that the promise was not to tell of Jon's real father since all the other Targaryens were being ruthlessly slaughtered.
