Jak Roberto was born as Jan Rommel Osuna Roberto on December 2, 1993, in Nagcarlan, Laguna, Philippines to Ramil Roberto and Marlene Osuna.

Roberto was five years old when his father died of a heart attack. He and his siblings were then raised by their mother and grandmother. Due to financial difficulties, he learned to work at an early age to help support the family. According to his mother, Marlyn Roberto, he actively sought work even during childhood. In grade school, he earned money by painting gravestones during Undas, receiving around ₱25 per grave, and earning approximately ₱200 to ₱300 on busy days. He used his income for school expenses to avoid asking for allowance. He also worked as a fast-food service crew member. Roberto repeatedly auditioned for showbiz roles but faced multiple rejections. After their family moved from Laguna to Bulacan, attending auditions in Manila became more difficult due to distance and travel costs. He continued traveling for auditions, commercials, and indie projects, at one point nearly giving up on his dream. His breakthrough came during a "final audition" for a minor role in the film El Presidente (2012), where he appeared as a soldier extra and met talent manager and host German Moreno. Through Moreno's encouragement, he was invited to join Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman, marking his entry into showbiz at around 18 years old in 2011. Later, he entered showbiz through Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman, hosted by German Moreno, and eventually became a recognized actor and the brother of actress Sanya Lopez. Roberto later appeared on small roles on various programs of GMA Network. In 2014, Roberto portrayed Ambo in the afternoon series The Half Sisters. While building his career, he completed a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management at the Philippine Women's University and remained under GMA Artist Center management. He later joined the boy group 3LOGY in 2015 and gained wider recognition after his role in Meant to Be (2017).

Roberto and Barbie Forteza first met in 2017 while working on the rom-com series Meant to Be. Their closeness sparked dating rumors the same year, which grew through similar social media posts and public interactions. They confirmed their relationship in 2018 and later became popularly known as the "JakBie" love team. Over the years, their relationship was often admired but also repeatedly surrounded by rumors of breakups, especially in 2023 and 2024 when they were seen attending some events separately. Despite this, they consistently denied issues and publicly affirmed their trust and commitment, with Roberto often praised for being calm and supportive amid Forteza's busy career. After seven years together, Forteza announced their breakup on January 2, 2025, describing it as a "beautiful goodbye". She thanked Roberto for their time together and asked for privacy. No specific detailed reason for the breakup was publicly disclosed. Roberto has not released any statement regarding the separation.
