Paltrow gasped and replied, \u201cThis is NOT Goop approved!\u201dBlanco then made it clear that Gomez, 33, still enjoys Paltrow\u2019s healthier food brand. He said the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star \u201ceats the s\u2013t out of\u201d Goop Kitchen options. But he added that her usual taste leans toward \u201cwhatever is bad for your diet.\u201dThe music producer also said Gomez \u201cdoesn\u2019t really like fruits or vegetables.\u201d<\/p>\n Paltrow has long drawn attention for her own food choices.

She launched \u2018Selena + Chef\u2019 in 2020 after calling herself a \u201ccomplete disaster\u201d in the kitchen.
