Personal life Mac Allister is of predominantly Irish descent, with some Scottish ancestry as well. His Irish ancestry can be traced back to Donabate, County Dublin, and his Scottish ancestry can be traced back to Tarbert, Kintyre. 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.

Mac Allister's two younger brothers, Kevin and Alexis, are also professional footballers; Alexis is a 2022 FIFA World Cup winner with Argentina. They are the sons of Carlos Mac Allister and nephews of Patricio Mac Allister.
