Siri Only Allows Me to Contact Some People

Ever since I rec'd my first iPhone, I have been using the phrase, "Hey Siri, text <contact name>" and she dials with no issues. I updated over the weekend, and now I when I try to text my husband, she says, "Something's wrong. Please try again."

She ONLY does that with my husband. I am using his name, and he only has the one number, but no matter what, she can't do it.

This is EXTREMELY frustrating. I have tried the following things:

Turn off and turn on.

Double check Siri's responses are on. (Note: it only DOESN'T work for my husband, so it works for others.)

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Instead of saying, "Hey Siri, text my husband", try to say his name.

Try these too:

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
In Contacts app: Delete your Husband's contact info and recreate a new one
In your own contact info, scroll down and create a relationship (Add Related Name) by selecting your husband's contact info, add a label "Husband" or "Spouse"
In Settings > Siri & Search > My Information > make sure your own contact info is selected.

Now, Try "Hey Siri, text my Husband"

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in my question. I do use his name, I just chose not to write it out here.

I have tried turning it off and on.

I have tried updating his contact info.
