A post shared by Isaac Humphries (@isaachumphries7)Isaac Humphries is running it back. The out basketball stud is gearing up for his eighth pro season, fresh off another sizzling summer. The former Kentucky standout has found a home in Australia’s top pro league, the NBL, where he’s parlayed his success into nascent careers in music and modeling.
Most recently, he has been touting his partnership with Ralph Lauren Fragrances, and the iconic brand’s Polo 67 cologne in particular. The spray is supposed to capture the fresh feelings of baseball, continuing Ralph Lauren’s proud history of sporty scents. Star athletes from around the world, including New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-Min, serve as ambassadors for the cologne.

The 26-year-old told his teammates he was gay in November 2022, and hasn’t looked back.
When he made his big announcement, he was embraced.“A few years ago, I fell into a very dark place, a very lonely place,” Humphries said. “I couldn’t be who I am, and I attempted to take my life. The main reason behind me becoming so low and being in that point is because I was very much struggling with my sexuality and coming to terms with the fact that I’m gay.”Just a few years ago, the idea of male pro athlete coming out was largely unfathomable.
