Actress Ali Larter has shot down reports boyfriend Hayes MacArthur has been forbidden by his family to marry the star.

The Hollywood couple who hooked up on the set of their 2007 comedy Homo Erectus have been inseparable ever since. However according to reports at Star magazine, MacArthur's conservative family has hit out at Larter for living a lavish celebrity lifestyle.

A source tells the tabloid, "He comes from tons of money, and his family is very old-fashioned. They wish he'd marry a doctor or a financial planner. Anything but a Hollywood celebrity. She's really in love with him... She can't wait to tie the knot so she can prove to his family that she can be an excellent wife."

But Larter has denied the allegations, telling Glamour magazine in a recent interview: "Things are going so well."
