Text messages sending from email address

My husband recently upgraded to the iPhone 12. At least twice a week, his default for sending text messages reverts to sending them from his iCloud email address. He continually fixes it to send from his phone number, but it keeps reverting back. Any ideas for a permanent fix for this issue? Thanks!!

Did you start a new message thread (not continuing messages that were started)?
