A red dwarf can come to exist by being very light at birth. There are brown dwarfs after all, who have not ignited a fusion reaction. Red dwarfs are just large enough to have ignited the fusion reaction.
Just take a look at Gliese 581, a red dwarf star that has six planets, some of them perhaps gag giants. They would not exist if Gliese had a Nove event in its history.
