Y&R Star’s Tragic Loss

On Sunday, November 23, Kristoff St. John (Neil, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS) lost his son, Julian. The actor’s ex-wife, Mia, posted the tragic news to Twitter. “Our son was the light of our lives,” she wrote, “an artist with a beautiful mind and spirit. He fought long and hard against an illness for which there is no cure. Unfortunately, the pain became too great for him and I dare not say he lost the battle — he simply chose to set himself free.

“My fight for mental health will continue,” she added. “They may not find a cure in my lifetime, but we can try and prevent the loss of another beautiful soul.”

Our sympathies to the entire St. John family at this difficult time.
