I know they are never both stated as the parents of the charities at the same time, but I choose to interpret Helios and Eurynome as their parents. Eurynome so that she raises Hephaestus as her own along with her daughters and Helios bc he seems like a genuine bro to Hephaestus not only telling him about Aphrodite cheating but also rescuing him during the Gigantomachy.

Maybe whenever Helios would visit his daughters he’d spend time with Hephaestus as well and was kinda a father figure to him, which Hephaestus appreciated since Zeus literally threw him off Olympus for trying to protect Hera.
