All-American Alien Boy bump.
No, this is not known at all. Both fields propagate at the speed of light.
This reminds me of when I was around 5 or so, and tried to think about what was up in the sky and how it could ever end. Anyway, I've heard that all we know about things like this is really meaningless because we only know a very, very small fraction, and it's not enough to make sense out of anything. It all boils down to, not being capable of using but a small bit of our brain's capacity...
The Speed of Gravity – What the Experiments SayAs viewed from the Earth's frame, light from the Sun has aberration. Light requires about 8.3 minutes to arrive from the Sun, during which time the Sun seems to move through an angle of 20 arc seconds. The arriving sunlight shows us where the Sun was 8.3 minutes ago. The true, instantaneous position of the Sun is about 20 arc seconds east of its visible position, and we will see the Sun in its true present position about 8.3 minutes into the future. In the same way, star positions are displaced from their yearly average position by up to 20 arc seconds, depending on the relative direction of the Earth's motion around the Sun. This well-known phenomenon is classical aberration, and was discovered by the astronomer Bradley in 1728.

Orbit computations must use true, instantaneous positions of all masses when computing accelerations due to gravity for the reason given by Eddington.
