I have the same problem with my pug. This is a common "pug thing". I use the wrap on my pug whenever I'm gone a while.
I am expecting my first child in a month, and unfortunately I expect to use the wrap pretty much all the time (unless he is sleeping). By marking, he is marking his place. He may feel threatened by the new pup.
If you decide to buy one, make sure you buy 2 so you can use one and wash the other... don't put it in the dryer. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I would definitely have him neutered (and the female spayed as soon as your vet recommends) but you will also have to spend time re-training him.
Take away all house freedom and put him through a housebreaking review.
"The Five Things You Must do to Housebreak Any Dog In A Hurry
Every professional dog trainer knows that there are five keys to succesfully housebreaking your dog. Ignore any of these five keys and you'll be dooming yourself to many extra months of housebreaking misery.
1.) Correct the dog any time he has an accident in the house if you catch him in the act. Keep him confined to either a crate, or a dog run outside when you can't supervise him.
2.) Praise the dog anytime he eliminates outside.
3.) Establish a specific spot, and a command you repeat (such as "Get busy!") while you're waiting for him to eliminate outside.
4.) Set up a rigorous feeding and watering schedule, and take him out immediately after he does both.
5.) Use an odor neutralizer, such as a product called "Nature's Miracle" (you can buy this at your local pet store, or through a mail order catalog.) You'll need to make sure that whatever product you're using is an enzymatic cleaner, meaning that it actually 'breaks down' the urine or fecal mater on a microscopic level, rather than just masking the scent."

Sorry to say this, but I have heard this more times than I can count from people who refuse to neuter. He is doing this becuase of the hormones that were stirred up when you brought the female in. He is not doing it because he just needs to pee and has forgotten his training, he is doing it because his instincts have taken over. This is what uncut male dogs do when they are not neutered and are exposed to females.
EDITED TO ADD:
A belly band will stop him from getting his urine on your stuff, but will not do anything to stop from marking, it will just catch the urine, like underpants that go across his penis, some have a place to put a pad, but they do start to smell and the skin can get irritated having that urine setting right up against it for any amount of time. I had a male who learned to get them off in no time, then they are worthless. END OF EDIT
If you refuse to neuter him for whatever reason, you may just have to take away some of his privilages, like freedom to run the house. This is NOT a problem you will be able to break him of, no matter what you do. If you leave him unattended, he is going to mark, his hormones tell him to do it even though he knows the rules of potty training. Only let him have run of the house when you can be right there with him-and I mean right there! It only takes a second for him to lift his leg and mark, you will have to babysit him to make sure you can stop him every time he lifts that leg. But he will probably always try to get away with it when you are not looking, that's what uncut males do, and that's one of the many problems that you have to accept if you are breeding. No one said it was easy to be a "Breeder", it's not always as easy as "buy girl dog, buy boy dog, get puppies".

If he isn't neutered, that could help.
How does he get along with the pup? If his nose is out of joint and doesn't seem to like her, you need to work on their relationship. Once that is better he shouldn't mark. There are a number of books available regarding multianimal households (Peacable Kingdom and Feeling Outnumbered? are the first that come to mind), or consult with a trainer.
If he does like her, make sure that you supervise the boy constantly. Stop him if you see he is about to mark somewhere. If you can't watch him, put him in a crate to prevent marking.
You can also use a doggie wrap or belly band to prevent marking. Lots of pet suppliers sell them online, and some pet stores sell them.

Give him a larger territory...
Like the yard
Take him outside, on a leash, walk him around the perimeter of the property three times... let him mark it all if he wants to.
If you have no yard then improvise... like the block or the park across the road... take bags along to pick up after him.
The puppy stays home for right now. You are giving this one a larger territory kiddo. And praise him when he marks along the way so he knows what it is all about.
Good Luck

Neutering won't help at this stage. You can do it, but it will be a waste of money.
Belly bands are wonderful. They are a 4inch wide band of fabric that a sanitary napkin fits into. If the dog lifts his leg, it goes into the pad. I think they are one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind.
In the future, if you have a male that you know you don't want to breed, you can completely prevent marking by neutering before 6mo.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tr.im/liHoN
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Have him neutered, if he isn't. Not only will it stop this and many other behavior problems, it will eliminate the high risk of testicular cancer in older dogs as he ages.
If he's fixed already, contain him when you can't supervise him constantly and when you can, correct him as soon as he lifts his leg with a stern, "NO!" and take him outside where you want him to go. Praise him when he does what he should.

If he is not neutered, he will mark his territory. That is natural. There is nothing you can do. It will never stop. It will lessen if he has no access to females but to do that to an un-neutered male dog is cruel and unhealthy.
