The actress, who has celebrated her 50th birthday, is also a proud mother to 15-year-old Theodore Hayes MacArthur. She shares both children with her husband, Hayes MacArthur, 49, whom she married back in 2009. Their journey together began on the set of the film “National Lampoon’s Stoned Age,” and they have built a family since then.
At the Inspiration Awards, Ali and Vivienne were not alone; they were joined by Larter’s “Landman” co-star, Demi Moore, who attended with her daughter, Tallulah Willis. The event celebrated the achievements of women and inspired young girls to pursue their dreams, making it a fitting occasion for both families.
Aside from her occasional appearances at red carpet events, Larter has embraced a quieter lifestyle with her family. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Larter-MacArthur family uprooted from their Los Angeles home and relocated to Sun Valley, Idaho. Ali has described this move as a means to lead a “simpler” life, where they could enjoy nature and engage in family activities away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.
Larter is clearly enjoying her time in Idaho, often sharing snippets of life in the mountains on social media. She has posted pictures of her family celebrating Independence Day, highlighting their adventures such as fishing, barbecuing, and spending leisurely days outdoors under the expansive summer sky. “The days are really long, and the sun’s out until like 10 at night now,” she remarked, reflecting on the joys of quality time spent with her children.
In an interview, Larter elaborated on her family’s activities, revealing their fondness for visiting local ice cream parlours and enjoying volleyball matches. “We love to barbecue at our house,” she shared, illustrating the warmth and simplicity that characterises their current way of life.
The actress also expressed her delight in watching her children grow and develop their unique personalities. In a past interview with PEOPLE, she discussed her observations as both a mother of a daughter and a son. “My daughter is already so observant,” she said, noting how Vivienne takes her time to explore books and engages with the world around her. On the other hand, she described Theodore as a vibrant “force of nature” who thrives on interaction and attention.
As Larter continues to balance her career and family life, her commitment to nurturing her children’s individual traits shines through. While she does make appearances in the public eye, it’s clear that her family remains her top priority. With plans for future projects in Hollywood, fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close watch on her journey, both as an actress and a devoted mother.
In the coming years, Ali Larter’s ability to navigate the pressures of celebrity status while maintaining a nurturing environment for her children will be a testament to her strength as a parent. As she continues to share glimpses of her life, many will undoubtedly be inspired by her approach to family and the bonds she has fostered with her husband and children.
