Janus Friis, co-founder of Skype, has recently filed a lawsuit against his former fiancee allegedly for cheating on him and has asked her to return his 471,000 dollars engagement ring.

The Law suit states that Friis, who got engaged to a Danish recording artist Maria Louise Joenson in 2013, gave her a 950 Platinum band inset with many diamonds, including a 1.76 ct round brilliant cut diamond, along with an apartment and cash as a symbol of his love, reported TMZ.com.

Friis has claimed that he found out that his former fiancee had multiple affairs and sexual encounters with other men because of which he called off the engagement.
