This can be as “simple” as your phones being in close proximity to each other for an extended period, and sharing device advertising IDs/other device data via WiFi, Bluetooth. Might be more to it, but it’s a likely factor.

Devices do this regularly btw, smartphones also scrape for WiFi networks to better geolocate etc.
