Channel 9’s Danny Weidler reported the pair said ‘I do’ in front of a just a small number of guests.
The couple have not posted anything to their social media pages about the wedding.
No further details about the nuptials have leaked out.
Kendall, a leading Sydney yoga instructor, was only seen wearing an engagement ring in August, however, the couple never confirmed publicly if the 50-year-old NRL legend had popped the question.
It has been a long time coming for the couple that welcomed their first child together in 2018.
Kendall and Johns are raising daughter Alice, 5, in Sydney where they live in Bronte.
The “Eighth Immortal” has two children from previous marriages.
He shares 24-year-old son Samuel with first wife Renae Chapman, and 14-year-old son Louis with second wife Catherine Mahoney.
He split from Chapman in 2002 after two years of marriage.
Johns met Mahoney in 2002, with the couple tying the knot in 2007.
Johns is famously protective of his private life, while Kendall has an active life on social media where she promotes her various lifestyle projects.
Johns lives with bipolar disorder and revealed he has epilepsy and has been treated for seizures.
He also previously said he had taken ecstasy and “other drugs” during his career in 2007.
However, he said he has found a balance in his life and enjoys a mindful outlook since he first started seeing Kendall.
“I always thought yoga was for girls but now I wish I’d done more of it when I was playing,’ he told News Corp.
“Physically it’s great for my body, especially with all the injuries I’ve had, but mentally it’s even better—it really clears my mind.
“It keeps me in check too. If I know I’m doing yoga in the morning I behave myself the night before — within reason.’
