Did the council ever have any knowledge of Anakin and Padme's relationship? Was there any hint in their minds?

I got the impression that Obi Wan strongly suspected.

Yeah Obiwan knew that Anakin had a thing for Padme and he knew she considered him a close friend but i dont think early on he knew that she really liked him back. He saw it as them being best friends and only because of her pregnancy he saw them as what they really were. Then again, did he just think Anakin got her pregnant or did he think they really were married, that i dont know.

The Jedi council failed to figure it out and Kenobi should have realised that it had to be addressed directly sooner or later.

To put this in perspective, it shows that the Jedi are of really low quality these days.

As far as I know Obi-Wan either knew or had a very good idea about what was going on. However he chose to ignore it because it made Anakin happy.

I think Obi-Wan and Yoda knew there was something romantic going on between Anakin and the Senator. But they didn't realized they were married and having marital relations. I believe they didn't think the Senator would have relations with Anakin as an unmarried woman and the guilt Anakin would feel would keep him from pressing the relationship too far. And they didn't think Anakin would break his vow and marry nor did they feel that the Senator would allow him to do that, or participate in any such thing based on the character she showed to the world.
But Yoda and Obi-Wan both made it clear that they knew of the feelings between them, Yoda on the ship when he made the strange face just after he sensed Anakin going ballistic on the way to fight Dooku and Padme fell off the ship - and again at the end of that ordeal when Padme ran in and hugged Anakin in a manner that was a bit too familiar. And Obi-Wan on several occassions made it clear that he knew Anakin was thinking about Padme romantically. I just believe both never thought the situation would go as far as it did due to what I wrote above.

In the novel, Obiwan knew they were together, but didn't. He chose to not really know so he did not have to report it to the Council.
In the movie, it is hinted that Obiwan knew. Yoda to Obiwan "Search your feelings and you will find him." Prior to that,Obiwan visiting Padme because he was worried about Anakin. The movie offers strong indications that Obiwan knew that Anakin and Padme were very close. The marriage remained a secret to the very end, the relationship didn't.

I always felt the Jedi knew, but thought Anakin wouldn't be so foolish. I mean, he was a Jedi exception in the first place, he shouldn't have gambled that the way he did.
I don't think it ever crossed their minds that they'd be secretly married, and soon to be parents. Maybe a fling, or even close friendship. They knew Anakin had a problem with attatchment, and I guess thought he'd be trying to fix that on his own as a Jedi.
But, I'm pretty sure Obi Wan knew, but just didn't tell the council. He already had enough to explain on Anakin's behalf, and he didn't think it would endanger Anakin.

Dude you know at the end of AOTC when the Jedi are talking about the war and then Mace asks Obi-Wan about where Anakin is? Did anyone hear it as "he's on Naboo, courting Senator Amidala"?

Anybody with common sense (okay not a good example with the Jedi, Anakin, actually the only one with any was Palpatine) could have seen that a good looking young guy spending time alone with a good looking young woman, regardless of "duty" are going to do something other than just play cards.

I think they all knew, and was like, If he keeps it to himself.....
I find it hard to believe when people are so in tune that they can feel someone upset from the other side of the galaxy, that they can't sense Anakin being madly in love, having sex, etc, when her apartment is five miles from the temple. Maybe it's half the reason they are always angry at him, if he's broadcasting.....

Obi Wan knew, already in AOTC i belive. Kenobi was Qui Gon`s apperentice, and then Anakin`s master, this makes Obi Wan more "human" than most other Jedi, who never experience these basic human emotions first hand. Maybe that is why the council are not capable to see it like Obi Wan do. Just a theory..

They knew, of course. But the middle of a war where they need every Jedi they had is no time to expel your most gifted pupils.
In time, choosing between his marriage or Mastership was what Anakin would have had to face. As events unfolded, the Jedi weren't given time to present this choice.
When Anakin went to Yoda for counsel regarding his ominous dreams, Yoda knows what Anakin fears. He never mentions Padme, or reveals that he knows, because then he would have to disapprove.
Instead, he wishes to show sympathy, and lead Anakin to an understanding that will disarm the dangers of potential loss. It is not advice Anakin can hear.
When Obi-Wan talks with Padme about Anakin's fall, he notices her pregnancy, and knows instinctively that Anakin is the father.
Yes, they knew. What they did not realize was how this relatively innocent attachment would be ruthlessly exploited by the Sith.
