"Gilmore Girls" Costumer Says the Father of Rory's Baby Was "Supposed to Be . . . Obvious"

This is the most obvious answer, and Campbell finally confirmed it in her TikTok. Rory is sleeping with Logan throughout "A Year in the Life" and only breaks up with him for good in the "Fall" episode, and ultimately, he's the only truly viable option.

Amy Sherman-Palladino also gave a hint in an interview with Entertainment Weekly days before the new series premiered. On the topic of Logan, she said, "We wanted Rory to date her father. Every girl has a father issue, and Logan was Christopher. Logan was charming, smart, and not quite the dependable soul that you need. Or, at that time, was not the great dependable soul."

Rory becoming pregnant with Logan's child is indeed quite a full-circle moment, as Lorelai became pregnant with Christopher's baby at the end of the show.
