I'd imagine that at that point, the expansion of the universe would nullify the tiny amounts of gravity between the particles after the supernova. The only way I'd imagine them staying together is them forming black holes, which this paper in Kurzgesagt's sources list seems to say is unlikely
Of course, I don't know near enough to actually understand much of what this paper is saying, so I could be completely misinterpreting this.
I'm pretty sure the expansion isn't too crazy fast, considering the star itself was stable.
