Since tying the knot in an outdoor ceremony at MacArthur's family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, Larter and MacArthur have welcomed two children together — 15-year-old son Theodore and 10-year-old daughter Vivienne. Larter tells PEOPLE that one thing she most admires about The Runarounds star is his caring nature toward her and their kids.
"The way that he takes care of our family," Larter answers, of what makes her heart race for her husband.
Larter and MacArthur met on the set of the 2005 movie Homo Erectus. Two years later, the pair got engaged in December 2007. When the couple said "I do" in 2009, Larter wore a Vera Wang sweetheart neckline, an A-line gown of Chantilly with hand-pieced corded lace appliqué, while MacArthur opted for a Ralph Lauren Black Label peak-lapel tuxedo with a Polo Ralph Lauren bow tie.
Larter and MacArthur built their dream home in Sun Valley, Idaho, after relocating there from Los Angeles in 2022.
Speaking to Rue Magazine for a September 2024 cover story, the Legally Blonde and Varsity Blues alum explained that she and MacArthur "fell in love with the beauty of the mountains and their quiet grandness" as well as the "real sense of community" in the area.
