Background

Hans Isaac was born on 20 August 1971 in the Sultanah Aminah General Hospital in Johor Bahru to Carmina Anciano Isaac[3] and Gerald Edward Anthony Isaac.[4] Carmina's family, who were of Filipino-Spanish descent, ran the Singapore Symphony Orchestra while Gerald Edward, who was of Indian-Eurasian descent, was the head of the naval base KD Malaya situated across the Johor–Singapore Causeway.

The Isaac family were 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 as his father was appointed as an aide for the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong at the National Palace in Jalan Istana there until his retirement.[4] It was also in the city that he received his early education at the St. John's Institution.[4][3] 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 announced his engagement to Aileen Gabriella Robinson, who won the title of Miss Tourism International of 2011.[5] On 30 October 2017, however, he announced that the marriage will not take place.[6]
