Benny Blanco reveals Selena Gomez eats like a "five-year-old"
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
The singer and actress apparently follows a “whatever is bad for your diet” approach.
There might be a perception that celebrities always have their lives in order, with most of them following strict lifestyles and healthy eating habits.
But that might not always be the case.
Singer, actress and businesswoman Selena Gomez is keeping things a little more relatable with her eating habits.
Her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, recently gave fans a glimpse into what his wife actually eats, and it turns out it’s not healthy at all.
During an interview on Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Goop” podcast, Blanco joked that the singer has a “diet of a five-year-old” and isn’t big on fruits or vegetables.
According to The Daily Mail, Blanco said during a live taping of the Goop podcast with Gwyneth Paltrow on May 12 that Gomez basically eats “whatever is bad for your diet”.
“This morning I walked in, and she was eating Jack in the Box at 6.45 in the morning,” he revealed.
He added that her favourite foods are burgers and fries.
Blanco mentioned that the only nutritious meal he can get her to agree to is from Goop Kitchen, Paltrow’s healthy takeaway food chain.
But even then, Gomez avoids her greens.
When she orders the Chinese chicken salad, she simply picks out “everything on top of the salad” and leaves the lettuce for her husband to finish.
