The pair won in San Diego in September but lost to Canadians Gabriela Dabrowski and Leylah Fernandez at the Billie Jean King Cup this weekend.
Siniakova initiated the split after an injury-marred 2023, according to media reports, but did not rule out a potential reunion.
The Olympic doubles champions picked up their seventh Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this year.
