Fans aren’t over Tom Petty house

Selena and Chef sees the Single Soon singer open her doors to extremely talented cooks. Providing the backdrop for the Food Network show is Selena’s very own $5 million LA mansion.

In the spring of 2020, Selena Gomez purchased her house which used to belong to musician Tom Petty.

Fans of both Tom and Selena can’t help but notice details of the property during Selena and Chef.

One fan commented on Michael’s Instagram post for episode 2: “I know it’s Tom Petty’s former home. I’m such a fan I can’t help but look at the background.”
