How to Remove Apple TV Remote from Lock Screen on iOS 18?

The apple tv remote keeps coming up on my lock screen and I don't really use my phone to control my apple tv. Is there any way to get rid of it automatically popping up? I even tried to forget device via my Apple TV but still did not work.

Found the solution to be on the apple tv. Go to settings on the tv, remotes and devices, remote app and devices, locate your phone on screen and remove it. The lock screen issue should be resolved.
