Tyrion Lannister is fully aware of the fact that his siblings, Jaime and Cersei Lannister, are having sex with each other even though they’re brother and sister and even though Cersei is married to King Robert Baratheon.
At this point in the story, he’s probably even aware that Jaime is the biological father of Cersei’s children, not Robert.
