Reports claim Ben Affleck might be interested in buying Shakira's Miami mansion

A journalist named Omar Suarez explained some of the problems that buyers have encountered when browsing the house. "No one wants the home due to its conditions," he said in Spanish. "All of the buyers have backed off when they've learned of some of the arrangements she made. The bathrooms are located below water level and when it rains in Miami, all of the sewer water ends up at the home." 

Journalist Kike Calleja reports that there is a buyer that remains interested in the property, even if their identity has yet to be revealed. Calleja claims the new buyer thinks the home is "wonderful." The buyer is rumored to be Affleck or Will Smith and was linked with Shakira through Marc Anthony

Shakira's home is equipped with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool, a gym, and a small pier, allowing boat owners to leave their vehicles docked and take them out conveniently. The home also boasts all manners of celebrities and notorious people as neighbors.
