On "The Bachelor" finale Jason stunned fans by announcing to his fiance Melissa Rycroft that he was leaving her for Molly, the show's runner-up. The 32-year-old admits that although he doesn't regret his decision, he does regret breaking the news on national television.
"I completely regret doing that," he says. "I regretted it every single day since that happened and I will regret probably every day for the rest of my life. The producers obviously really wanted me to do it on the show, but I take full responsibility for my actions."
DeGeneres asked Molly about the what she meant when she told Jason he was making a big mistake after he chose Melissa at the final rose ceremony.
"At that time I just thought I was a better fit for him," Molly explains. "I think Melissa is incredible. She's a really really great girl and I think anyone would be lucky to have her, but I just thought I was a better fit."
As far as the couple's future plans, Molly reveals that they are not engaged, but are simply trying to take their relationship one day at a time.
Check out the video for more with Jason and Molly and tune in to the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" for the full interview, Friday at 4 p.m. on NBC.
