After the reveal of Historia being pregnant, one of my first thoughts was that Eren had to be the father. They just clicked at the end of the Uprising Arc, and that moment when she cried after Eren opposed Zeke's plan of having her pop out babies like an expensive brood mare kinda sealed the deal for me.

Now, I know that the MPs said that the father is the boy, now man, from Historia's childhood, but I think it was a smokescreen. It was bad enough that circumstances forced this plan upon her if she wanted to save Paradis, but choosing a practical stranger on top of it? I know the military didn't interfere with her choice, but the only people she knew on a personal level were fellow soldiers, and the one she was closest to was undoubtedly Eren. Honestly, there was probably some unspoken rule forbidding her from choosing him so as to avoid their most powerful weapon from having any unnecessary and potentially harmful and distracting emotional connections.

However, I think it's truly possible that she sought him out, or him her, or that they just found themselves together in some private situation and emotions got high. I imagine Historia, having learned to stand up for herself, would have wanted to have some level of control over the plan. Therefore, she would have sought out the one guy she had possible romantic feelings for, if not, a substantial emotional connection to. I don't know what would have made Eren give in - he just doesn't seem the type to leave a child fatherless, having the short lifespan he does - but I do feel the knowledge that Historia was pregnant was his child could've been the final straw that caused him to act on his own.

This is my theory. Any thoughts?
