Selling Sunset The Reunion sees Jason in tears over 'difficult' break-up from Chrishell

Selling Sunset's Jason Oppenheim broke down in tears during the show's season five reunion as he spoke about breaking up with Chrishell Stause.

Season five of the hit Netflix show began with the pair being super loved-up as they enjoyed a European getaway with their co-stars.

However, by the end of the season they had split up and Chrishell, 40, was in tears as it became clear she and Jason wanted different things.

As the former couple came face-to-face for The Reunion, host Tan France was keen to delve into the break-up and the conversation became very personal.

"This has been a very difficult break-up, I can never think more highly of someone than I do Chrishell," Jason, 45, said.

"She was an amazing girlfriend, and she would be an amazing mum.

"It's not that I think I made the wrong decision, it's just that I had a lot of respect and still have the upmost respect for Chrishell and still love her as much today. It's difficult," Jason continued, as he dabbed his eyes with a tissue.

"There's a sadness and loss I think, and watching the show made it more difficult, brought it back up.

"It's been a few months but I'm still just going through stuff and I think there was a lot of love between us, and I still care about her very much, this has been a very difficult break-up," Jason said, trying to keep himself composed.

Chrishell then added: "I actually came into today feeling like really strong and confident and where we've been able to get our friendship, I mean obviously Jason is not one to show emotion very often so that just completely caught me off guard.

"It makes it very difficult when you still have feelings there, it's easier to get over someone when they p**s you off, in this case it's just been a little more tough."

Even Jason's brother Brett fought back tears when Tan asked him if he had "championed their relationship".

"You know I love both of them and when I watched the end of the season, it was tough to watch Chrishell that hurt," Brett said.
