Reindorp married a South African Doctor, Alix Edington, in South Africa following the end of the Second World War. The Reindorps gained a reputation as public speakers on the British lecture circuit. Their clerical and medical backgrounds earned the couple the nickname 'Body and Soul'. Reindorp had four children with his first wife, Alix (née Edington). Two of his sons, David and Julian, have been ordained into the Church of England. Reindop's only daughter, Fiona married English Baronet Sir Richard Baskerville Mynors. After the death of his first wife in 1987, Reindorp married Lady Bridget Mullens. The service was conducted by his eldest son, Julian.
