Speaking to Today, James revealed how he felt watching the viral clip back.
He said: ‘I was thinking, financially, can we handle this? And then I started thinking about the stress of overstretching of our hands. You want to be able to give each child individual attention and love.
‘What you saw (in the video) was a rollercoaster of fear, stress and anxiety.’
He said that he was embarrassed when he saw the clip, adding, ‘I’d never want my spouse to think that I’m not supportive. She’s the glue that holds our family together.’
James added that he was caught off guard because he and Anissa and just had a conversation about their family being complete.
And while many social media viewers expressed their concern for Anissa, the mom-of-five revealed her husband’s reaction didn’t upset her at all.
She told the outlet: ‘I wasn’t upset at all. I knew he just needed a minute to process the news, ten minutes later, he was super happy and we celebrated.’
When Anissa shared the video, she said it was a result of the couple ‘done having babies.’

In the clip, Anissa set up a hidden camera to film her husband’s reaction.
She glanced toward the camera as she nonchalantly said: ‘Oh I forgot, you got [asked] to look at that thing today, I opened it but I didn’t open the mail inside of it.’
Anissa pointed toward the package on the bed before her husband takes a seat at the edge of the shot.
He asked ‘what is it?’ before she brushed off: ‘I don’t know.’
James then pulled a piece of paper out of the envelope and was stunned by the announcement in front of him.
The unsuspecting father said: ‘I’m not f***ing playing, stop playing with me. Anissa, no! I’m not… no!’
He dramatically threw the papers down before holding his head in his hands and continued to shout ‘no.’
James said: ‘Don’t do this to me. Please tell me that you’re joking.’
Needless to say, she’s the blessing we never knew we needed. 🫶🏼#babynumber4 #pregnancyannouncement #blessed

Anissa looked toward the camera and picked up the pregnancy test to confirm with her husband.
He screamed once again, jumped up off the bed and stormed out of shot but can still be heard shouting: ‘Babe! F***!’
Anissa, who then swiftly turned off the camera, added overwritten captions which read: ‘When you’re done having babies but get a positive test and your husband’s reaction isn’t what you expected… excuse the language.’
Elaborating further, Anissa uploaded the clip alongside a caption that read: ‘Needless to say, she’s the blessing we never knew we needed.’
And dozens of social media users piled in to share their thoughts on the reaction.
One joked: ‘I, as the mom, would’ve had this reaction to my own test.’
Another added: ‘The most rawest and real reaction and I love it!’
Other social media users took to the comments in their droves and branded it as ‘the most raw and real reaction’
And a third said: ‘This is exactly how I would react too, so I totally get it. I’d love them, but NOOOO.’
However, not everyone found the funny side.
Addressing some of the negative comments, Anissa leapt to her husband’s defense as she wrote: ‘In no way was his reaction hurtful. Its an in the moment reaction of complete shock.
‘She’s the biggest blessing and he’s the best daddy to our babies.’
The couple has since welcomed their newborn – a daughter who they named Nola Jayde.
James told Today that he is ‘obsessed’ with her.
