Did Simba and Nala become mates in CanYouFeelTheLoveTonight?

I'm not entirely sure how to interpret what happens during Can You Feel the Love Tonight, because at first glance it's obviously a song about Simba and Nala's heartfelt reunion, but after it's over it's pretty vague if their relationship actually changed. In my head it could either be: they reunited during the song and sometime after Scar was defeated they did become mates, or, they got together during the song and even conceived Kiara too.
I'm more inclined for the latter after watching the alternate version of Simba and Nala's reunion that wasn't used in the movie, especially by Timon's line "Loving and leaving, very smooth kid very smooth" and Simba's obvious "I love you". Technically it's not canon but it was scripted by the movie writers.
Your thoughts? How did you guys interpret this scene?
