Retired NRL star Andrew ‘Joey’ Johns has tied the knot with partner Kate Kendall in a very secret Bali wedding.
The footy legend, 50, has kept mum about his union to the yoga instructor, revealing only that it was a small ceremony, reported The Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday.
Andrew and Kate are said to have had very few guests in attendance on their happy day, inviting only their nearest and dearest.
The couple have not posted anything to their social media pages about the wedding.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Andrew for comment.
The lavish island union will come as a shock to the former athlete’s fans who were unaware Andrew and his new wife were even engaged.

In August, the couple sparked engagement rumours after Kate was seen sporting a diamond ring.
The Channel Nine commentator and the Sydney-based celebrity yoga instructor were spotted out enjoying a romantic lunch together in Bronte at the time.
Kate was seen wearing a diamond sparkler on her ring finger, sparking speculation the lovebirds quietly got engaged.
The couple, who have been dating since 2016, looked as loved-up as ever as they smiled and chatted over their alfresco lunch and soaked up the sunshine.
Andrew has also credited his partner with introducing him to yoga, saying the discipline has kept him focused and helped his mental health.
‘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 earlier this year.
‘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.’

Andrew first started dating high-profile yoga instructor Kate in 2015 and they welcomed their daughter Alice in 2018.
He also shares 24-year-old son Andrew with his first wife Renae Chapman, and another son Louis, 14, with his second wife Catherine Mahoney.
Kate runs Paddington-based yoga studio Flow Athletic and her celebrity clientele include Roxy Jacenko, Willie Mason and George Burgess.
She also teaches yoga courses online through her Active Yogi website and also runs a podcast, titled The Space Between.
The happy couple live a calm life away from the public spotlight, enjoying an enviable view of Bronte Beach from Andrew’s $2.8million home in Sydney’s east.
Andrew played for New South Wales Blues for 23 State of Origin matches and was captain of the Newcastle Knights.
He has also represented Australia twice in the World Cup and is considered as one of the greatest Australian rugby league players of all time.
