Textarea loses the breaks < br > when pulled as Post Item

I have a textarea and line breaks are replaced by <br> on the content-post_type.php as intended. Now I’m trying to pull the posts’ content to a different page – which basically works fine. But when I’m pulling the textarea’s content from inside a repeater field (‘releases’) , the breaks are ignored.

// loop through the rows of data
  while ( have_rows('releases') ) : the_row();
	
    // get sub field values					
    $post_object = get_sub_field('release');
			
	if( $post_object ): 
			
	$post = $post_object;
			
	setup_postdata( $post ); 

	$alt_name = get_field('alt_name');

	echo $alt_name; // no line breaks show up

	wp_reset_postdata();

	endif;
	
endwhile;

Am I missing something…?

Thank you very much!
