Selena Gomez’s shocking ‘5-year-old’ diet exposed by husband Benny Blanco

Benny previously revealed that Selena was a big fan of comfort food due to her Texan roots. “If I hit her with the steak night, I’m getting love – that’s all I need to do. She loves a good steak; she wants the steak, she wants the potatoes, she wants the creamed spinach,” he told The Kitchn.

“She’s a big fan of fried chicken and French toast. She knows the good [expletive]. She always knows where to go – her nose always goes to the best recipes. She’s from Texas, so comfort food is big for her.”  

Selena has been working on her culinary skills in recent years, particularly after her cooking series, Selena + Chef, proved to be a huge hit. 

“Season one, I was a complete disaster, and not to say I still don’t have my moments, but I’ve come a long way,” she told People in 2022. 

“I wish I had more time to cook, but with work it’s not always easy,” she added. “I love when I get the chance to cook for my friends and family.”

Meanwhile, Gwyneth has long been health-conscious and was on a strict Paleo diet for many years, where she avoided bread, pasta and cheese. 

The mother of two then shared on her Goop Podcast that she had chosen to reintroduce those foods into her diet after being “sick” of restricting herself. 

“I went into hardcore macrobiotic for a certain time, that was an interesting chapter where I got obsessed with eating very, very healthily,” she said. 

“I really deepened my connection with food and the whole philosophy around macrobiotics, which is essentially just how they eat in the mountains of Japan, so very local and seasonal. Lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no dairy, no sugar, etc. I think that period of time, I might have got a little didactical about it.” 

“There I said it,” she added. “A little pasta after being strict with it for so long. But again I think it’s a good template, eating foods that are as whole and fresh as possible. I don’t think there are any doctors or nutritionists that would refute that.”
