The pair split earlier this year
The pair – who went their separate ways earlier this year – said they were desperate to salvage a friendship after their one-year romance.
Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report at her Lipsy clothing launch, Chrishell said: “It’s one of those things where it is hard and awkward, and we’ve had to fight for our friendship.
“I think it’s nice as mature adults that, this person you cared so much about, you don’t want it to be weird.
“I’m very proud of that relationship and where it is today.”
Season five showed the journey of their love story – but it didn’t have the happy ending everyone was hoping for.
And during the Selling Sunset reunion episode, viewers caught a glimpse at the heartbreaking toll the relationship had on Jason.
In an emotional scene, he broke down as he opened up about how he was feeling about the “difficult breakup.”
Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report, Jason revealed he was glad the episode addressed some of the questions viewers might have had after watching season five.
He said: “I am glad we did it. I was very nervous and reticent about doing it and worried about the emotional toll that it would have on me, but I am really glad that I did.
“It was very kinda cathartic for me and I’ve honestly been really happy since the reunion. I think it really helped me get through some of the issues.
“These are real issues for us, it’s not just a show, so I had some things that I hadn’t got closure on and dealt with completely, so the reunion really did have a material effect on me in a positive way.”
Jason and Chrishell split on the season five finale after the broker decided he did not want to have children.
Chrishell has expressed her desire to welcome a child all season long.
On the reunion, Chrishell confirmed she is dating Australian singer G Flip.
