The heart wants what it wants.<\/p>\n

Selena Gomez has the \u201cdiet of a 5-year-old,\u201d her husband, Benny Blanco, told Gwyneth Paltrow during a Goop podcast taping on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old record producer left Paltrow, 53, horrified as he broke down his wife\u2019s eating habits during the West Hollywood event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning I walked in and she was eating Jack in the Box at 6.45 in the morning,\u201d Blanco revealed, identifying Gomez\u2019s two favourites as \u201cburgers and fries\u201d, reports Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gasping, Paltrow replied, \u201cThis is NOT Goop approved!\u201d<\/p>\n

Blanco, after assuring Paltrow that Gomez, 33, \u201ceats the sh** out of\u201d the Oscar winner\u2019s Goop Kitchen options, said his spouse mainly prefers \u201cwhatever is bad for your diet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Disney Channel star, he noted, \u201cdoesn\u2019t really like fruits or vegetables.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paltrow, for her part, has made headlines over the years for her strict diet choices, including a \u201chardcore macrobiotic\u201d phase with \u201clots of fish, vegetables, rice, no dairy [and] no sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n

By April 2025, the actress was \u201cgetting back into eating sourdough bread, cheese [and] \u2026 a little pasta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gomez, notably, launched Selena + Chef in 2020 to stop being a \u201ccomplete disaster\u201d in the kitchen \u2014 with the help of professionals.<\/p>\n

While Gomez confessed to People<\/a> in 2022 that she still has her \u201cmoments,\u201d she acknowledged having \u201ccome a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Same Old Love singer rated her kitchen skills a \u201cfive out of 10.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show had a four-season run and was followed by Selena + Restaurant in 2024.<\/p>\n

Gomez gushed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that same year that Blanco, however, does cook \u201cvery well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Only Murders in the Building star joked at the time that she \u201cwatch[ed] and encourage[d]\u201d her husband when they co-hosted thanksgiving together.<\/p>\n

The couple started dating in 2023, years after they met collaborating on music.<\/p>\n

Blanco popped the question in December 2024 \u2014 complete with a Taco Bell spread \u2014 and wed Gomez in September of the following year.<\/p>\n
