I'm hearing someone in denial. Ford Riley was the director. I don't think he's, per say. Now, considering what I have seen on social media, and the fact that he was essentially fired from Disney, I do get the sense that Riley and Disney do not see eye-to-eye as far as the show goes. And keep in mind that everything in a Disney show or movie must be approved by the higher-ups at Disney. Also keep in mind that the writers and the director don't always see eye-to-eye either. It could well be that Riley didn't want a romance dynamic to develop between Kion and Fuli (or any of the characters, most likely), but Disney and the other writers might have thought differently. Its worth noting that, if Kion and the Lion Guard ever do return, Riley will probably have nothing to do with it.

Also, if you really do want to 'hold out hope', he never said that any sort of romantic interest will ever form between Kion and Fuli. He simply said that they are not currently a couple, and that Fuli's current feelings towards Kion are that of a sibling. But that could easily change.
