what makes a person "not eligible for sharing" when you're trying to share an AirTag location?

I'm trying to share the location of one of my AirTags with my husband but I get an error message saying" unable to share AirTag" then it says "(phone number) is not eligible for sharing"

What do I need to do?

iPhone X, iOS 15

You can share an AirTag or other item with up to five borrowers in addition to yourself, for a total of six users per item, as long as the following requirements are met:

  • Two-factor authentication must be turned on for your Apple ID.
  • The person you share with must have an Apple ID and be signed in to iCloud with their Apple ID. You can’t share with a child account.
  • The owner and borrowers must have iCloud Keychain turned on.
