I don't consider interviews canon. (there are a handful of exceptions to this, when a writer/actor/director says something I particularly like and will then incorporate into my own headcanon—I can think of a whole two cases off the top of my head and none of them are OUaT-related—the first is almost anything Sondheim says about his shows and the second is an interview Kate Shindle gave about Wonderland which confirmed mercury poisoning )

I ship based on what I see on the screen, not things the writers say. If the matter of Robin's wife and kid is cleared up and then he shows up in Neverland and he and Regina have chemistry and the relationship isn't utterly contrived? Wonderful. Until such time as that happens, the writers can tell me all they want about this future love interest and I'm going to continue ignoring them.
