Tom King "killed" Poison Ivy during Heroes in Crisis, she was reborn from a plant at the end so nothing happened.
Maybe Joker will switch things around: beat up Barbara and shoot Jason and then show Batman pictures of him naked.
It's not just shipping, it's the value of the character. Babs has been paired with almost every member of the family at this point. The main and accepted one is Dick, but she's dated Luke (while doing a character assassination on Dick), planned to marry Tim in Arkham Knight, teased with Jason, and then there's Bruce Timm's official Batman fanfic.
Barbara is her own character, not the Bat-family bicycle.
It looks really bad on top of her most popular story being the one where she's sexually harassed, and that DC is apparently so possessive of her being Batgirl they ban other Batgirls from appearing in comics for a while. It just reeks of fanboy's fantasy. A canon one.

It's in one of the endings or post-ending content I believe. Nightwing DLC maybe? Mentioned when Dick talks to Alfred over comms? I don't really remember when or how. I think they're away, maybe even on their honeymoon, and that's why Dick returns from Bludhaven to handle Penguin's breakout.
I'm not against it.
At all.
I mean, I wouldn't mind either if he ends as Kate's partner/Nightwing either. He can fill the lancer role nicely, without stopping to be the hero (as in protagonists) of his own story. I'm personally all open to everything, as long as it's well written and makes sense in story, and with the previous story in the case of the main universe.
Tim marrying with Babs was from the true end, I think. There was a photo, maybe?
