Ali Larter expecting a baby boy

Ali Larter is having a boy! The Heroes star, who recently announced she and her husband, Hayes MacArthur, are expecting their first child together, will welcome a son later this year, according to In Touch Weekly magazine.

“At first, they wanted to be surprised, but they just couldn’t help themselves,” said a source close to the couple.

“They’re thrilled!

“She is so excited about shopping for the new baby — she has been going overboard buying everything. Although she is only in the beginning stages of putting together the nursery, Ali definitely wants to keep everything eco-friendly and simple.”

Larter recently revealed she’s enjoying being able to eat what she wants while pregnant.

“I eat everything,” she said. “I bake myself strawberry shortcakes and then I wake up at three in the morning and I eat them.

“I love it because so much of the time, I have to be careful.

“I work out. I play certain roles where it’s important for me to look a certain way. But now it’s just freedom. It’s like, ‘Bring on the Sprinkles cupcakes, pizza, pasta.’ I’m loving it!”
