Selena Gomez’s unique eating habits have been publicly revealed by her husband, Benny Blanco, sparking an intense wave of backlash from the pop star’s protective fanbase. During a recent appearance on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop podcast, the 38-year-old record producer shared an inside look into his wife’s unexpected daily diet patterns.
Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, ignited an immediate debate online after humorously claiming that the 33-year-old Who Says hitmaker essentially possesses the “diet of a five-year-old.”
“This morning I walked in, and she was eating at Jack in the Box at 6:45 in the morning,” Blanco revealed during the podcast interview.
The Eastside producer further shared that Gomez does “not really like fruits and vegetables.” However, he noted an interesting exception, stating that she frequently enjoys food from Goop Kitchen, the wellness-inspired takeout brand launched by Paltrow back in 2021.
