The 21-year-old was glowing as she entered an Italian restaurant in a white tank top paired with denim shorts and red ballet flats. She wore her long blonde locks down on the errand, looking just like Gwyneth in the summer sun.

"I try not to force anything on them. They were raised in an environment where wellness is important, and they will adopt what they choose to, or not. They have free will,she continued. 

"My philosophy is in the house, I try to have healthier things around. But they have free will, and when they're out of the house, I'm sure they go for the Oreos and the McNuggets. More power to them."

The 52-year-old recently made headlines when she admitted on her podcast to being "a little bit sickof the Paleo diet, which she has sworn by for years. After "eating very, very healthily", Gwyneth shared that she had begun to introduce "a little pastaand other foods like sourdough bread and cheese into her diet.

"I was really discouraged from doing anything in the public eye,she told Interview. "Also, I was like, 'don’t think we need another celebrity child in the world.just try to do what feels right and block out anything regarding me in the news to the best of my ability…I just want to do what seems fun and figure my life out."

She added that it had been difficult to receive the criticisms of her nepo baby status after she attended a Chanel show in 2023. 

"Even if you see a million positive things, there can be one thing that absolutely wrecks you,she explained. "So, I've stopped now and I avoid it like the plague, because I know myself and I know that if I see stuff that isn't true and that's really upsetting to me, I'm going to be like, 'Oh my god, I should never go out in public again.'"
