The Young and The Restless actor Kristoff St. John was sad and lonely hours before he was shockingly found dead in his home, his fiancée exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
Russian-born model Kseniya Mikhaleva, who became engaged to the actor in August 2018, told RadarOnline.com she last spoke to St. John on Saturday, Feb. 2, one day prior to his death.
"He was a little bit sad because I'm in Russia," the brunette beauty said, adding he wanted "to be with me always."
Mikhaleva said she believed the couple's long-distance relationship contributed to his sadness. She is currently working toward receiving a business degree in Moscow, Russia.
"He missed me," she told RadarOnline.com. "We were at a distance."

Mikhaleva confirmed that she was in Russia at the time of the incident. She said she will be traveling back to Los Angeles soon.
The couple last saw each other in December 2018 to celebrate the New Year. St. John traveled to Moscow to be with Mikhaleva, where the two posted loving photos together.
"Happy New Year everyone. My love @ksumik," the soap star wrote on Jan. 2.
Mikhaleva said the couple was in the process of waiting for documents that would allow them to get married soon.
"There was a little bit of time left and we could be together," she said.
The heartbroken fiancée added that she is "so sad."
LAPD confirmed to RadarOnline.com that St. John's death is currently being reviewed by the Los Angeles Coroner's office.
