"Do you see these guns?" responds pro dancer Sasha Farber, explaining that he is more than strong enough to handle his partner's lunch.

"I do see them and I don't want to strain them," Kim jokingly answers.

Of course, Kim is only kidding about not eating, noting, "Yesterday, I sent him like three pictures. Eating."

While food has not been an issue, Kim, who travels back-and-forth between Los Angeles and Atlanta between filming, reveals that her son is a little nervous to see her dance.

"If I show him some video of Sasha flipping and twirling somebody, he's like, 'Mr. Sasha wants you to do that? No mommy, I don't think you should do that,'" Kim shares.
