Personal life Mac Allister is of predominantly Irish descent, with some Scottish ancestry as well.

Mac Allister's Scottish forefather Charles McAllister, a Protestant who converted to Catholicism, had temporarily moved to Donabate from the Scottish town of Tarbert in the 18th century. Charles' descendant Joseph McAllister emigrated from Donabate in 1865 to acquire farmland in Argentina, where the family name was changed to Mac Allister. In addition, he also has some Italian ancestry through his maternal grandmother, whose roots trace back to Belmonte del Sannio, Isernia.
