No, Luke doesn't know yet. But he will soon. Very soon.

2 By Jayde Star
Everyone from the Skywalker/Solo clan, other than Jayde, was at Mara and Luke's place. Despite the fact most of them already knew what he was going to say, Phil was waiting until Jayde and David got there before he officially announced the engagement. For the moment he was talking to Padmae and Ben.
"So, who gets to warn dad before Jayde and Dave get here?" Padmae asked her brothers.
"Warn dad about what?" Phil wasn't so much talking to them, as he was pretending to as he watched his fiancé across the room.
Padmae raised an eyebrow at her twin, "Warn him about Jay and Dave. You know, that they're together?"
"Are they? That's nice." Phil mumbled absent-mindedly.
Ben just laughed. "I think you should stop trying to get a sensible answer out of him, he's preoccupied. Anyway, why should we warn dad? It's Jay who should do that. I mean, do you really want to be the one telling him that piece of information, let her do her own dirty work."
Padmae sighed, "I guess you're right."
"Of course I'm right." Ben said in certain smug way that only an older brother could pull off without getting punched in the face. "Besides, what has dad got to be really upset about? Dave has always treated Jayde well, and it's not like dad has a problem with his family. He just didn't like the age difference when she was younger, add that to his reputation with women and you certainly don't have a relationship dad would approve of."
"I know, but…." Padmae started to say, until Luke came over to join them.
"Hey kids. Phil, you did remember to tell Jayde to be here didn't you?" He asked.
"Yeah, I called her about an hour or so ago. She said she had to make a call and then get a quick shower, then she would be here. I guess here call must have taken a bit longer than she thought it would." Phil answered.
#Or her shower took longer than she thought, especially if Dave went back to her place.# Padmae sent to her brothers through the force.
#That is not something I want to think about when it comes to my little sister.# Ben quickly sent back.
Luke was about to say something when he was interrupted by Anakin calling to him from the other room, "Uncle Luke, Aunt Mara, you may wish to see this." Luke went to see what Anakin had to tell him about. He got there in time to see an image on the holovid news of Jayde and David kissing in front of a jewellery shop.
The female reporter was giving voiceover, saying "Jayde Skywalker, daughter of Luke and Mara Skywalker and David Antillies, son of Wedge and Iella Antillies, were seen in leaving this jewellers less than half an hour ago, hugging and kissing and looking extremely happy. When the shop attendant was questioned, he answered extremely vaguely, saying that he was asked not to comment if anyone asked. The evidence leads this reporter into thinking that there may be wedding bells in the not-too-distant future for the Skywalker and Antillies families."
The stunned silence was broken by Jayde and David finally walking in.
"Hi everyone, sorry we're late. We were……" Jayde trailed off as she saw what was playing on the holovid. "Oh…."
"Oh is right." Luke said, trying to decide if hitting David was a good idea or if he should wait and give him a chance to explain. "I presume you guy shave a good explanation for what we just saw?"
"Of course we do." Jayde said, before David could even open his mouth. "A very good reason."
Padmae whispered to Phil, who was standing next to her, "I think Jayde just stole the limelight from you."
