If you use the same Apple ID, then naturally all your data (including contacts) will be shared on both devices. The ideal solution is to create a new Apple ID and use it for your personal information. The good thing is that you can use more than one Apple ID for various services on the same device. For example, you can use a personal Apple ID account for your iCloud data, and use the shared family account for iTunes purchases.

Welcome to iMore

Without creating and using a new Apple ID there's not much you can really do. Unless you want to lose other beneficial Apple services your only recourse is to create a new Apple ID.
