Saving you a click: Sun like stars turn into a red giant which is hard to live near and destroys nearby planets. After that red giants turn into white dwarfs which are possible to survive near but normally there aren't any planets left to live on.

The article is about them discovering a jupiter size planet around a white dwarf

It seems to me that the idea that you'd have a solar lifecycle where your sun jets up to a red giant then burns out into a white dwarf and still end up with something that could be remotely habitable at any point afterwards seems unlikely.
