Photos Shared library empty on Mac

I updated my phone to a shared library (shared with my wife), everything looks normal on our phones. I just updated my Mac Studio to Ventura and Photos says my shared library is empty. My personal library is showing as expected.

Ok, looks like it's syncing now... for the first 10-15 mins it wasn't giving me any feedback or sync status and just saying the shared library was empty but I noticed the library was increasing in size... so I waited a bit and now it showing my photos as normal and finishing up the sync.
