Can Citizenship be revoked after a common-law separation?

Hello. I would like to ask a quick question.
I got sponsored by my former partner. We began our relationship in 2008 and applied for PR in 2009 (as I recall). I became a PR back in 2011. I became a Canadian Citizen in May 2015.both my PR and citizenship application were straight forward and I never had any issues. We were in a relationship for 6 years. However, things between my partner and I went downhill, and we have recently split up. Can that affect my Citizenship status? If the gov all of the sudden sees that I am filing taxes on my own (we used to file them together) and notices that I have a new address, can they revoke my citizenship?

Thanks for your help!

No - your citizenship won't be revoked.

You were in a relationship when you were sponsored so you did not lie about anything on your application, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
