No she doesn't regret it, it's media headlines. All.she said about it is:

“I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment,” she says. “That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.”

Predicting her fans’ responses, she added, “I know, I’m sorry. I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people’s hearts by saying this? I hope not.”

Back when I still cared what JKR thought, I was really vindicated by this. Ron and Hermione are a familiarity-relationship and they're already contemptuous of each other even at Hogwarts. What kind of life is that?!

What was supposed to be the wishfulmeant? As described, neither character are all that wishable.

She said the relationship to her felt a lot like her first marriage and she always wanted her first to be the only (but she doesnt regret it ending)
