Related question(s):

Do stars ever look like Jupiter/gas-giant planets at some point during their formation?

Can planets like Jupiter "pull in" enough matter to "ignite" and become stars in the future?

Excluding the Sun, there is not enough mass in the entire solar system to ignite Jupiter. Therefore, barring interaction with another star system, the answer is no.
