Defending pro champion Val Chmerkovskiy had previously said that he would want to be Jenner's partner if she were to join the show.
"I'll be Cait's partner for sure," he told In Touch. "I've proven I can win the show, and I would love to have an opportunity to win it with someone that nobody else believes can do it.
"She and I won't physically match but I volunteer," he added. "As long as you have the right energy, I am in it to win it."
Chmerkovskiy was partnered with Rumer Willis during the spring season. They wound up winning the Mirrorball trophy, making this his first victory since joining the show in 2011.
Dancing With the Stars returns for another season on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
