Yes. Most stars do. Our own star, the sun, is about 4.6 billion years old and is expected to last for about another 5 billion years. The smallest, slowest-burning stars are believed to be able to last for trillions of years. Giant stars, which burn quickly, may only last a few million years.

How do you know the sun is powered by nuclear fusion?

It was discovered about 100 years ago that if a star was just made of gas that is cooling naturally, it would shine for only a few hundred years. Stars were later found to contain mainly hydrogen and it was also discovered that fusion of hydrogen into helium would provide the energy to keep the stars shining for billions of years. So that's the theory.
