Ali Larter can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been five years since she and her family moved to Sun Valley, Idaho.<\/p>\n

The “Landman” star explained to Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his “Dinner\u2019s on Me” podcast <\/a>on Tuesday that the residents of her neighborhood acted “blas\u00e9, blas\u00e9” when the star moved in.<\/p>\n

“They don’t care,” she continued, joking, “Like if I can shoot an elk, they would’ve been like, \u2018Oh my God, you’re the star of this town.\u2019 No, but that\u2019s not what it was. It was really just a simple unfolding of like relationships naturally forming.”<\/p>\n

Larter said she and comedian husband, Hayes MacArthur, mainly chose to move to the northwest to put their “kids first.”<\/p>\n

“We love being with our children, so a lot of the people that we spend time with are our children\u2019s \u2014 the parents of the children [who are their kids\u2019 friends],” she explained.<\/p>\n

She continued, “We\u2019re not in it just like doing adult dinners. We love when the house is packed with families and children are running around. So, that\u2019s what we really saw there.”<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old said they “just did it, and then we fully committed, and I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been five years, which is wild.”<\/p>\n

Larter said she believed the move was “authentic and true to us, then positive things happened in our lives. And it\u2019s like we made decisions for the right reasons, that what it felt like. Putting our kids first.”<\/p>\n

In November, the “Legally Blonde” actress explained to Fox News Digital that their family first went to Idaho for two months during the pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So, we went for two months thinking the kids\u2019 schools would be reopened in California and they weren\u2019t. They were doing online,” she said.<\/p>\n

In Idaho, however, she said the schools were open, “So we were able to put our 6-year-old daughter in kindergarten for the spring semester and that was a huge thing for us because we just wanted her to be around other children and have that kindergarten experience.”<\/p>\n

She said they met some “amazing families” during their time there and “living in the town and just skiing with our children, and we really spent a tremendous amount of time together as a family<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

After they went back to L.A.<\/a>, which Larter says she loves after living there for 20 years, she said they realized: “With such a massive, massive city, there are so many demands of an actor to live there.”<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re expected to show up for so many things,” she said. “There are so many parties. There\u2019s so much of that side of the life that I just didn\u2019t feel like served us any longer. We just didn\u2019t want to do that. We want to be with our children. So, that\u2019s when I think the biggest change was. We came back after that summer, and we just made a go for it.”<\/p>\n

The actress also splits her time in Texas, where she plays Billy Bob Thornton\u2019s ex-wife Angela Norris on “Landman.”\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
