Please help! I am a breeder and I had a stupid idea to borrow my stud to another queen. For space reasons I sent my stud there. He came back and my queen smelled him and was extremely annoyed and started beating him. Then she calmed down, then she beat him again. Then they seemed to be peaceful but yesterday he suddenly peed in the bathroom. He has never done it before. I cleaned it, but today he peed on my favourite couch! Right where I put my head. I am devastated. How can I get rid of the smell? I don't know what to do.

Help! Stud started peeing after visiting another queen

Unless it has something to do specifically with intact and/or breeding cats, you can try what others do with a bout of non-recognition, and use towels/combs/brushes to transfer your queen's scent onto your stud, so he smells more like her, and reduces the current tension he is feeling.
The other thing you may have to consider if this has more to do with something that happened during the mating process that might be more of a health related issue. I don't know how likely that might be, but I guess it can't be ruled out entirely.

Are you sure he isn’t spraying vs peeing? Male cats looking for a mate, trying to ward off other males by marking their territory or even being stressed (perhaps by the uninterested female?) will spray. He may settle down in a few days but spraying can be a long time issue of an unneutered male.

Thank you. So you think he doesn’t recognise her enough now, and that stresses him out? But why didn’t he pee in the other house I sent him to, with a completely new female?

There was a lot of pee. I thought spray is only a few drops. It is extremely smelly though.
One cat may not react to all 'new' cats in the same manner, but I thought it might have more to do with your queen's overall reaction to him, and it disturbing him - not to mention his temporary relocation to another home. Even though it sounds like she might have been OK with him later, he still could be sensing a 'vibe' from her because she is still smelling something a bit different about him.
Btw, spraying isn't always a tiny amount.
