Kris Humphries almost lost his wedding ring while going through a routine security check in airport, just weeks after tying the knot with Kim Kardashian.

Humphries lost the $10,000 ring at St. Paul's Airport in Minneapolis, last Friday, when the NBA star removed it while going through security check.

A traveler, Omar Ahmad, said that Humphries must have had to take off all his jewelry or it slipped off his finger because he was freaking out and frantically looking for it yelling 'where's my ring?!' The eyewitness recalled that He was crawling on his knees looking for it underneath the x-ray machine.

Ahmad reportedly helped Humphries find the ring while the 26-year-old basketball player's two friends stood there, with looks on their faces like, 'oh s**t! He lost his ring!'

After ten hysterical minutes of searching, the expensive item was found in the corner and security collected it.

Kris was just so thankful I helped him and and didn't just leave him, Ahmad said. Humphries posed for a click with Ahmad for being a friend in need.

The incident occurred almost when the second part of Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event was aired on E! Monday.
