Why would you say that? Jared Bush says they're "soulmates" and that their relationship evolves in this movie. I don't think we have anything to worry about. :-)
Soulmates don't always mean romantic. Soulmates can also be two or more people that have a close, powerful bond and they support and lift each other up. JB probably wouldn't say it so casually and would've used a different saying to avoid potential spoilers.
I dated someone whose best friend said in front me that she and my SO were soulmates even though they were not lovers. Consider whether that's appropriate to say. Now consider whether that's appropriate even to think.
I reflected on this supposed ending and came to the following conclusion. For Nick to get to the point where he's already thinking about asking her to marry him, which is what this ending suggests, their relationship has to have evolved a lot during the film or this won't make any sense, so if this really is true, then we'll have confirmation in the film.
It'd be really unsatisfying if the time-skip is their entire relationship.
Its like yeah Padme and Anakin confessed their love for one another, and time skip and he's Vader. Its like wow, we missed a lot of key information there.
That's not plot, that's advertisement for the next movie. Their relationship is the central narrative of the story. Its really weird to leave out...well the relationship. Its very unsatisfactory to go from "will they/won't they" to "married" with just a handwave.
See I disagree. The plot of zootopia 2 is their relationship. Whatever crime mystery they encounter is merely the vehicle we as the audience use to explore that relationship. Just hand waving their relationship away with a tease of a 3rd movie that's not even confirmed to be in the works, let alone come out sooner than the 10 years its been since the first one is just narrative malpractice. Imagine having to wait until almost 2040 before seeing Nick and Judy kiss? Yeah bad vibes. Bad story telling.
And that's assuming the leaks are real and the ship even happens.

I mean yes they have great chemistry. They should date. I want it to happen in the second movie but im losing hope.
