Susan Sarandon's beau responds to break-up rumoursLos Angeles, March 7 (AZINS) Susan Sarandon's boyfriend Jonathan Bricklin says his relationship with the actress "continues to evolve in new and unexpected ways", after it was reported that the couple have parted ways.

According to New York Post, they went splitsville because she was unhappy being part of AOL's new reality show "Connected" in which he was one of the main cast.

"Susan and I have a lot of respect and great admiration for each other. It's impossible to concisely characterise our relationship, other than to say that it continues to evolve in new and unexpected ways," Bricklin told people.com in response to the rumour.

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

The show will air later this month. It follows six New Yorkers and their partners.

Sarandon, 68, and Bricklin, 37, first met on a road trip to Chile in early 2010.
