Selena's Sweet Tooth Exposed

Selena Gomez may be a global superstar, but when it comes to her eating habits, she's just like us! Her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, recently dished on Selena’s diet quirks during a live episode of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Podcast. He dropped the bombshell that Selena “has the diet of a five-year-old child,” admitting that she gravitates towards foods that are notoriously diet-unfriendly.

“This morning I walked in, and she was eating Jack in the Box at 6:45 in the morning,” Benny revealed, highlighting her penchant for takeout food.

All About the Comfort Food

Benny didn’t stop there. He confessed that Selena isn't a fan of fruits and veggies but has a soft spot for Gwyneth’s Goop Kitchen meals – minus the greens. As Benny humorously pointed out, Selena makes sure to leave the lettuce for him in her Goop salad bowls. Gwyneth chimed in with a laugh, “This is NOT Goop approved!”

Texas-born Selena's love for hearty comfort foods is no secret, with Benny proclaiming that steak nights make her heart sing. Whether it’s fried chicken or French toast, Selena’s taste buds are all about indulging in the best comfort cuisine.

From Disaster to Culinary Queen

Despite her nonchalant approach to nutrition, Selena's journey in the kitchen has been on an upswing. Her cooking series, Selena + Chef, has been a hit with fans. Reflecting on her progress, Selena joked in a 2022 interview that she was a “complete disaster” in the beginning, although she’s improved considerably since. Her love for cooking, despite her hectic schedule, shines through as she cherishes cooking for friends and family.

Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow, known for her health-conscious lifestyle, has also been on her own dietary journey, transitioning away from a strict Paleo diet. She shared on her podcast about reintroducing bread, pasta, and cheese into her meals, having grown tired of restrictive eating.

Both stars, in their own ways, showcase the intricate dance between comfort and health in the world of diets and dining.
