Susan Sarandon has called it quits with her much-younger boyfriend Jonathan Bricklin. 

Page Six reported that Bricklin, 37, and Sarandon, 68, split while shooting the new AOL documentary series "Connected," which follows six couples over a six-month period. The actress was reportedly unhappy and became increasingly annoyed about her private life being filmed.

"It caused a lot of strain in the relationship," a source told the New York Post. "It's documented for the show that Susan breaks up with him because she doesn't want to be involved with the show. She says, 'You're a cast member, I'm not.'"

Despite their disagreement, Sarandon's name is listed as Bricklin's girlfriend in the press release for the show. The couple first met on a road trip to Chile in early 2010, just one year after splitting from her longtime partner Tim Robbins.

"For the last five years, the relationship has been mostly about her. He was given the opportunity to do Connected and really wanted it. He needed something that was going to be about him," a source told E! News. "But as filming went on, she started to get uncomfortable. Even though the filming was supposed to focus on him, producers kept making it about her. They wanted the movie star. They put pressure on him to deliver more with her and she finally put her foot down."

Bricklin, who is the co-founder of SPIN New York, released a statement regarding the break-up rumors.

"Susan and I have a lot of respect and great admiration for each other," Bricklin said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. "It's impossible to concisely characterize our relationship, other than to say that it continues to evolve in new and unexpected ways."

It continued, "She supported my decision to be a part of AOL's Connected, and making this series about my life has brought up real and somewhat unexplored issues, but it didn't break us up." 

The show, which will air its first episode on March 31, follows six New York-based couples who are handed cameras to document their lives. The documentary series will be produced by Morgan Spurlock.
