Hans Isaac was born on 20 August 1971 in the Sultanah Aminah General Hospital in Johor Bahru to Carmina Anciano Isaac, and Edward Anthony Gerald Isaac, a naval officer.[5][6]

The Isaac family lived in Johore for eight years before transferring to the KD Sri Rejang base in Sibu, Sarawak. They eventually settled in Kuala Lumpur when Hans was around eight to nine years old. His father had been appointed as an aide for the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong at the National Palace in Jalan Istana, and was there until his retirement.[6] Isaac attended the St. John's Institution, in Kuala Lumpur.[6][5] He holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the Singapore Institute of Commerce and a bachelor's degree in Hotel Management from Stamford College, Malaysia.[1]

In February 2017, he became engaged to Aileen Gabriella Robinson, a former Miss Tourism International winner in 2011.[7] On 30 October 2017, he announced that the marriage would not take place.[8]
