Text messages show wrong sender

My wife sends some text messages that correctly show her as sender. Other times she text’s and the sender reads as me. It happens when she sends texts to me and when she sends them to others, including family members

My wife sometimes does not receive my text messages Doesn't matter if I send from my iPhone or my Mac, she doesn't receive the messages until she sends one to me first and I reply to that. I think this could possibly be related to the fact that I have her Apple ID email address stored in her contact information and it's somehow using iCloud instead of SMS? I also have her contact information in Outlook and Google, so she's a linked contact. Naturally, I wouldn't block my wife :) I am using an iPhone 13 Pro Max and she is using an iPhone 11 Pro Max and also her iMac M1 (messages are not received on either device).

Do you and your wife share the same Apple ID? If you do, you each need your own Apple ID.
