"It was good to see everyone and come full circle," Pell told Us.
Pell was eliminated from The Bachelorette in fourth place after Fletcher enjoyed a date in his hometown of Burnet, TX, with his family and friends. Pell was clearly blindsided and devastated by Fletcher's decision to dump him and keep Rodgers, Robby Hayes and Chase McNary in the running for her heart.
"It's interesting to have that chance to bury the hatchet, wish each other the best and talk about everyone's plans for the future," Pell said of the reunion.
Pell, 32, and Fletcher, 25, were also photographed attending the music festival's afterparty at Jewel Nightclub at the Aria Resort & Casino on September 24 in Las Vegas. Also at Fletcher's side was her best friend and two-time The Bachelor bachelorette Becca Tilley.
Pell also got a chance to catch up with Hayes, who finished as Fletcher's runner-up, and McNary, who placed third on The Bachelorette.
"You've been through the same experience," Pell explained. "Everyone goes their own direction moving forward and it's interesting to hear the different stories of how people's lives are changing and what they're up to now."
As for what Pell is up to now, the Nashville-based singer and songwriter is recording his debut album for a January 2017 release. Fans can expect the war veteran to channel his feelings of love and heartache from his relationship with Fletcher into his lyrics.
"A lot of artists write about past relationships and current ones. You write about the good and the bad and the ugly as a way to paint of picture of what happened. You're a storyteller at the end of the day. So, absolutely, there will be some of that about JoJo in my writing," Pell told the magazine.
"People will pick up on it because they've seen what happened in reality, but I don't say her name. They'll be able to draw connections from what the music is saying. But I try not to go too cliche. I don't have a rose song!"
ABC initially signed Pell on as the star of The Bachelor's 21st season, which will premiere in January of next year. However, hours before Pell was set to board a flight to Los Angeles to begin filming, he was informed the network had decided to "go in a different direction."
Nick Viall, who appeared on three different shows in The Bachelor franchise, was then named the next The Bachelor star in a surprising announcement.
